Answer:
Well your not tasting it, so just shake it and make it flat, and there won't be a problem.

Answer:
I would speak with your nurse.

Beer may be a little gassy so do check first.

I have a lady that has the occasional wine through her peg. She has MS.

Answer:
yeah you cant have a beer because that will mess everything up if you want asvice on this you should talk to your doctor and see what they say about it first then asking us.

Answer:
Would have thought you could drink one ; but wouldn't put one through the peg it's too gassy….

It's good that you are thinking about food and drink though…

Answer:
Why would you want a beer. You are not able to taste it. Usually you should only put down the PEG the fluid prescribed by the doctor eg Nutrison

Answer:
Sorry mate, I think it would be too gassy. Speak to GP/Nurse they know best.

Answer:
