  Kate M. asked:

  Anyone know of a good wrist splint or similar for the kitchen that is water proof. My dominate hand and wrist fatigue bad, especially washing dishes. Thanks.

  

  Amber M. replied:

  Benik.com, they are neoprene suport splints. My hand therapist ordered them for me and I think they are great. Mine are all soft support with velcro but it really helps a lot. I wear both of them most of the time and when they get wet or dirty I just hand wash them and leave them out on a towel to dry. Then I have my stabilizing splints for the harder stuff

  Trina M. asked:

  HI Tubie friends! I have a question for everyone. My son is 3 years old and very very very active. I am in search of a g-tube protective belt. All I have been able to find are cloth ones. I found one with a plastic shell but it is a bit out of my price range at the moment. We are in dire need to protect his G-tube. It is always getting snagged and he is always pulling at it. Does anyone know where I could find a Protective belt with the plastic shell for an affordable price?

  

  Feeding A. replied:

  (Traci) I think you are talking about the Benik belt. It is the only one made of neoprene with the turtle shell option - all the others are made of fabric. If an OT or PT orders the Benik belt, it may be covered by insurance. You may want to contact Benik directly for details - http://www.benik.com/peds/wrap/g-tube

  Lauren M. asked:

  Can you post for me, please? My son's Make-a-Wish trip is a Disney Cruise. He REALLY wants to go on an excursion to a place that has a ton of crazy water slides. (He loves them!) He has a g-tube, how would you keep it secured on crazy water rides? I was going to grab a drug store abdominal binder but I didn't know if you awesome moms had any proven suggestions. He's 46 lbs and 45". Thanks in advance!

  

  Feeding A. replied:

  (Traci) I would ask his doctor if the water slides are OK. You may have to check water quality. Well maintained pools are OK, but water slides may not have the same standards as pools. If it is OK (and I hope that it is) - I would get a benik g-tube protective belt - it is made of neoprene, so it can be worn in water - You can try to get it covered through insurance if a therapist orders it - https://www.benik.com/peds/wrap/g-tube

  Tiffany F. asked:

  Does anyone have any suggestions how to keep my 2 year old tubie from pulling at her GJ button all the time? I've done belts, onesies, and punishment. Nothing is working and if she pulls it out the hospital I have to take her to is 3 hours away. Thanks.

  

  Feeding A. replied:

  (Traci) What kind of belt did you do? Because the Benik belt would be pretty impossible for a 2 yr old to go through. It is made of neoprene and the velcro on the cover is pretty industrial. http://www.benik.com/peds/wrap/g-tube -- in the interim I would do an ace bandage because you can wrap it so there isn't spaces for little hands to get in. I would also try giving her a stuffed animal or doll with a tube in it so she can play with that. There are non profit groups that provide those for children and it is pretty easy to make your own. http://www.feedingtubeawareness.org/StuffedPals.html
