With regards to the Vest, I too had my G-Tube placed in December and I have had no problems regarding the Vest. After a few weeks I was back up to the normal pressure and frequency that I was before. I used the "Block" for only a little while, it definitely helped if it actually does hurt to do the treatment. Regarding the clogging, I doubt that it is because of the Vest. It could be the bag or a kink, or that there is an obstruction that is in the tube that allows water to pass but not the thicker formula. My doctor actually told me to flush it with Coca-Cola if the tube got clogged or was slightly occluded. He said it dissolved everything (glad I drink a lot of soda? lol)

Thanks guys. It's actually not clogging anymore. She moved her bag down closer to the pump and that has seemed to make all the difference. Although now its smells kinda bad and is still hurting. She doesn't have a fever though. Is there just times when it kinda hurts a little more than normal? We can't figure out why its hurting...
