I also suffer from really, stringy mucous which stops me from eating. In fact I just had a replacement tube put in since my other feeding tube was getting pretty nasty. (I have to crush meds and put them through tube also).

Anyway, I've searched the site for helpful info, but there's just too much of it to wade through. I get frustrated and just forget about it.

Is there anyone pretty knowledageable on a whole who can provide various technigues to try, etc. into one document for all to use, which can be updated from time to time.

Just curious,

Best to all, Cricket

You will find relevant information in these past discussions helpful: Stringy (sticky) saliva
