Martin couldn't stomach ensure, he found it too thick and it tasted horrible. But he managed the banana flavour scandishake to mix with milk, but he could only manage 1 pint as it filled him up. Then he couldn't swallow full stop so had the PEG. Thank God for the PEG, I could feed him regularly while he was dosing and make sure he had some nutrition in him.
& months on he managed some chinese food just today, beef in black bean sauce with rice. It was wet and a bit spicy, so tasty. He made the mistake of trying a slice of orange, and the look on his face was a picture! It tasted like sea salt!
