Over 15,000 people in the UK live with being unable to eat and drink. They have their food and fluids
through a tube which is either surgically placed into the stomach or small bowel.  Some have a temporary
tube through the nose and into the stomach.

There is support available and several months ago My Peggy Peg blog was started and through this I
have met many people who thought they were alone!  My blog is open to all patients children and adults,
parents and carers, family and friends and professionals too.  The entries are usually linked to other sites
where you can obtain support and information.  Naturally there is no substitute for medical advice and
care and the blog has supportive information for those who might be uncertain as to the best course of
action.

There is also a link to the UK and American Support Organisations for people who are fed enterally.  I am
a member of PINNT, the UK based group, and they know about and support the blog idea and contacts I
am making!  So many people think they are alone and my aim is to continue to promote the support and
care available for all.
