Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Have they checked to see if she has latex allergies? Rebekah is allergic to plastic tape even the hospital bands have to be covered in cloth tape.She had a terrible time with her tubes eating away the skin around them.The GI surgeon she had in NY used to be a Nurse( Love her bedside manner) and she was into health naturally if possible she gave us a bottle of Comfrey based gel (most health food stores or nature stores have it) to put around her tube site and it worked everytime.I wish you the best tubes can be upsetting sometimes having to deal with the skin irritation .May it get better fast.BeckyB.
