What are your thoughts about feeding tubes?
Many pALS rely on a feeding tube for their nutrition. Some decide to forgo them entirely. Opinions abound.
Do you, or your pALS rely on a feeding tube, and would you recommend it to other patients? If you’ve decided not to have one, tell us what influenced your decision.

Unfortunately, I had a horrible experience with the gastrointestinal doctor. He placed a PEG tube under general anesthesia. We didn’t get care instructions or how too information, before leaving the surgery center. Unsuccessful at 5 tries, I made an appointment with the physician. He said it must not be working based on my previous gastrointestinal surgery. He then pulled the PEG tube in the office and patched it with a 4×4.
