PEG tube leaking/damaged

We're having problems. UK fit different to Portugal fit. I'm having to use pliers to get things apart. Nightmare. 😩

I keep spares of the end bit. It's really easy to do yourself 😕😍xx

Thanks so much Janette, my dietician has come out and put another end on, she says they are not well made, and she has given me a spare. xx

Aww glad you’ve got sorted 👍 Janette x

Hi heather, it’s probably coming from further down where the connector thins out, it happens to mine quite often I always have spare to change them over your peg nurse will probably show you how to do this. Hope this helps Janette x

Last night when I was trying to get medication and water down my PEG tube, it all poured out on me, seems to have a leak or damaged. I tried using both endings and was sure I had screwed the tube on properly. Has anyone else had that experience? District nurse trying to locate a PEG nurse
