Kelly,
I have been crushing my husbands pills for about 5 months and putting them in his tube with no problems. I have a mortal and pestal that I use to crush all the pills, the pharmasist told me to add a bit of water to the pestal to form a paste and then add water, and then I use a large 2 oz shot glass and I add water to it and stir vigourously to help dissolve the pills. I then take a 60 ml syringe add ensure that the pill solution and the water equals 60 mls sometimes that means filling up the shot glass a couple of times. I flush his tube with 60 ml water and then the pill solution then another 60 mls of water to ensure all the meds are in his tummy. Then I will proceed with his gravity feed after that. We have had no clogging problems at all ... Good luck !
