My GJ Tube Clogs Too Much - Help!

I had a gj feeding tube placed in late January 2022 and since then it has clogged an absurd amount of times (I've been hospitalized 5 times as a result of the clogging). The most baffling thing is that it has uncloged its self after a few days. Has anyone else experienced this? My dietitian has said it's not my formula and she doesn't want me to try new formulas (I only tolerate Osmolite/nutren and I can't get my rate past 50 so I can't water it down). My surgeon says it's not the tube. I'm a bit stumped!
