Hi, I have some experience with peg feed systems, what would you like to know?

Hi this was a while ago and after being assessed a peg is not needed for now but thanks for the reply.

What's a PEG ?

A PEG is a feeding tube inserted into the stomach and used by people who have eating difficulties.

I thought maybe it was a electronic device to stimulate nerves

Have a quick look at this

They are pretty robust, problems can be granulation at the entry point, they can be vulnerable to being pulled out too

Do you have one?

No, but I'm a nurse manager where some of our residents have one

Thanks. I have Mnd and it's something that will need to be considered further along the journey.
