Hi was your j tube placed in your stomach or your small intestine. Mine was in my small intestine. Never had and issue. Just wondering if that would make a difference. Hope everything works out for you wishing you the best. Scott

@goldenshadow it was in the intestines. I just saw wound care today and apparently there is a fistula that formed which is allowing drainage from the intestines to exit through the wound. Trying some new bandages and thoroughly cleaned it out, so hoping that will allow it to close up and heal.
