Hi,
Is he spitting up any bile? My mom also had bloating and it was a blockage above the J-tube causing bile to collect in the stomach. She got a G-tube put in just for drainage of the bile.

No there is bile that leaks out from around the port. He has had to have 5 tubes replaced since January. The formula has been changed 3 times to see if that would help but it doesn’t stop the pain.
