**********The J/G type of feeding tube is not one that is able to be removed and reinserted at home. It goes into the stomach and also into the intestines and has internal stitches.**********Do NOT pull this out!!!! This type of tube will NOT go back it. Try flushing it with warm water or even clear soda like sprite. You can even try just to push air thru. Keep working on it and if you cant get it then go to the ER. If anyone has pulled back on the syringe that could dislodge the balloon. Never EVER pull back to check for residual with this type of feeding tube. Most members use a PEG tube which is much different than the J/G tube.

PS... If your mother has a visiting nurse, then she would have 24/7 emergency care available. They always have someone on call. Same goes for the gastro docs, call someone to help you. Depending upon your mothers situation this could be a big emergency if she is not able to take enough in by mouth.

I just saw your duplicate post which has more info. DO NOT attempt to pull this out. If it is the J/G type of tube then it has stitches inside to keep it in place. There is also a balloon. Keep working on it. If you cant get it then yes go ahead and use the other port but remember that it is smaller and will need to be flushed every few hours. The formula should also be watered down. This needs to be fixed right away!!! Tomorrow make some calls and if you cant get a professional to help then go to the ER. Its not a big deal to have this switched. Its only a local shot given and within about 20 minutes a new one will be in.
