About this service
When getting enough nutrition and fluids to meet your needs becomes difficult, a Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube may be recommended to you. A PEG tube is sometimes referred to as a stomach feeding tube.
Some people initially use the tube only for maintaining adequate fluid intake while their meals remain the same. There are others who use tube feedings to supplement their daily intake either at the end of a meal or to replace one or two meals completely. Then there are those who switch from eating by mouth to total tube feeding.
In Manitoba the formula that you would consume through the PEG Tube is provided by the Manitoba Home Nutrition Program at no charge. The ALS Society of Manitoba would provide the tube feeding bags, different size syringes and any connectors if needed, plus other supplies at no charge to clients.
