try denture powder to fill in the stoma around the tube. It swells and absorbs moisture without hurting the skin and is safe in the body. It works well.

Hi Rudy, my mother has jejunostomy feeding tube for almost 3 yrs now. She can't take anything via mouth so is completely reliant on her feeding tube for nutrition/hydration. Foley catheter used as the feeding tube. For past 3 mnth, a lot of stomach acid/bile has been leaking from the stoma site, we change dressing 4-5 times daily (whereas in the past hardly any leakage occurred and we would do dressing once daily). We r lost how 2 solve this leakage problem and her surgeons r also unsure. Gastric contents leaking causing trauma to the skin surrounding the stoma and considerable pain. I hope u found a way to solve your leakage problem, if u could share ur solution/have any advice would be much appreciated. Thx a lot, Yusuf (yusuf.***@****)
