j-tube feeding

[stealbin]

I know someone who is J-tube fed because of swallowing issues.  He couldn't have a G-tube because of displaced internal organs.  The issue is bile leakage.  He goes for a week or two when the bile is manageable, then the site just oozes bile continuously.  This of course causes his skin to burn and he is in so much pain he pulls his tube out.  Then it has to be reinserted and this causes even more pain.  Do you have any suggestions for keeping the bile in?

I suggest sending a note or pm to worried878 with this question.   believe she is an ostomy nurse.  She comes on this board from time to time and will respond to a note.

I was told that you are an ostomy nurse.  I know a person who is J-tube fed, and when the bile runs (quite often) his skin gets so burned.  He suffers terribly and pulls the tube out almost everyday.  Is there anyway to stop the bile from coming out?  He uses a Hollister anchoring device and Hollister ring barrier around the tube, but the bile still gets out and then pools under the disc causing the problem.  Any help would be great! Thanks!
