Yes. As I have posted before, a PEG is where SIZE MATTERS.
My first defective peg was only a 12 FR, and after much complaining they replaced it with a 14 FR. A 20 FR is the gold standard but because of complications from the first botched PEG, too risky to put in at that time. If I am still stuck with PEG, my next one will definitely be a 20FR with a "mickey insert" just like the infamous U tube video.
The Jevity 1.5 cans come with a warning that the minimum size PEG is a 12FR. My doctors gave the same warning that nothing can be put into the PEG except Jevity, water and wine until I get a 20 FR or else it will clog (Pegs come in 10, 12, 14 and 20 FR mostly). Luckily, the constipation effects of the pain pills and patches balances out the diarrhea effects of the Jevity 1.5
