Understanding PEG Feeding at Home
PEG feeding (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) is often needed for people who cannot safely eat or swallow. It can be overwhelming for families, but with the right home support, it becomes manageable—and empowering.
What is PEG Feeding?
PEG feeding involves delivering nutrition directly into the stomach through a tube. It’s a safe long-term solution for individuals with specific conditions.
