Just checked the special needs threads and doesn't seem to be many people over there just wondering if anyone has experience with nj nasal tubes ( not ng ).

Hi op my late dd had an ng tube but would have ended up having an nj tube, and being on a pump. What do you need to know or is it just to talk lovely? Thanks

Hi DS is jej fed. not nasally but tube is thread through gastrostomy. He was NJ fed but it was felt he needed it long term. He has been fed like this for
5 years now.

As a very old paediatric nurse could answer some questions.

The tube feeding thread on SN has gone a bit quiet lately but am sure you could get some feedback if you posted there. I did a post 2-3 weeks ago.

Take care

I think they're US based but this is a very informative site: www.feedingtubeawareness.org/index.html and there is a facebook site: www.facebook.com/FeedingTubeAwareness

Hi

I deal with NG/NJs regularly. Is there anything in particular you want to know? (I'm a nurse ) the NHS websites give a lot of good advice and information too
