What are you putting down the PEG that might cause it to occlude? I flush mine with a fast push of the plunger using seltzer water--lots of bubbles-- and usually when I do that a couple of times it gets rid of anything thhat's a problem. I'm also pretty careful what goes down it--lots of stuff can clog a PEG.
