Totally! I had my first J in 2018, G/J in 2019, Separate G and J since. I used to feed through the J with Osmolite because I couldn’t tolerate anything else without pain. Now I am on TPN because I stopped absorbing the tube feed. I drain from my stomach 24/7 too. What types of questions do you have?
