Maybe it is the location of this PEG tube Pete. I don't remember who it was that posted about feeding too fast with the PEG and throwing up, but it helped me a bunch. I was trying to just pour the food and water in the tube, get it over with and go do something else. I kept getting the sweats and throwing up all of my food. Then of course, I had to start over again. I started putting less of the food and more water and taking more time to do the feedings and things got better. For a long time I had to lie down immediately after a feeding or I would get sick, but that improved also.

Now I am able to get enough calories to maintain my weight (all 97 lbs) and I am adding things by mouth in the hope that I will gain weight. Once I am closer to a normal weight I hope to be taking in more by mouth than tube so that I can start to wean off the tube completely and have it removed this summer.
