Or is it a J-G tube where it has a port for a tube that goes into your intestines and a smaller tube inside of that which is into your stomach? What exactly is missing from your tube?
When giving crushed medications, dissolve them in water and be extra careful that there arent any chunks of medicine that could get stuck. This info is for anyone reading this thread who needs to take meds this way.
