The stomach problems are so bad that I spend many days on the couch sick to my stomach even with taking medication for it. Since I have a J/G tube, when my stomach is really giving me alot of discomfort I can drain all the acid gunk out of my stomach. I have a extra accessory that comes with the J/G tube that is a kinda like a colostomy bag but its for stomach fluids. When I have to hook the bag up Im very ill and in alot of pain but then I instantly feel better when my stomach is emptied. Gross, huh? It works for me and we all have our hurdles to get over to live as normally as possible. My stomach acts up anywhere from 5 days a week to once a month, it comes and goes with no rhyme or reason. Hope you dont go thru this as much as I do.
