I have been clumsy in my description of my feeding tube. It is a G tube, not a J tube. The only hole is into my stomach.
There was no other recurrence of the pink blood, and it all cleared up with one flush and has stayed clear ever since.

J tubes are much more problematic when they go wrong. The fact that you have both just increases my respect for your patience and persistence.
Finally, I will be off the board until June 11 as I promised my wife a real vacation with no laptop, no internet mobile access, no smartphone etc. I was always bad at that while working, and took my Blackberry with me even on our cruises.
Stay safe and keep the faith
