Harrison’s G-JET®
“Having the GJ-tube has been a lifesaver and has given my boy his life back! He has more energy to do all the things he loves, like Cub Scouts (he loves fishing!) and baseball! This has allowed him to get more of the nutrients he needs to grow and get stronger.”
Harrison’s Mom
I’m Jasmine, Harrison’s mother, and I’d like to share our experience with the AMT G-JET® Button.
In the spring of 2026, my son was diagnosed with gastroparesis, a condition that causes delayed stomach emptying. We didn’t understand why, despite having a G-tube, he didn’t grow, gain weight, or have any energy to just be a kid. Thankfully, our hospital stocks the AMT G-JET® Button, and we were able to convert his G-tube to a GJ-tube to feed directly into his jejunum.
Having the GJ-tube has been a lifesaver and has given my boy his life back! He has more energy to do all the things he loves, like Cub Scouts (he loves fishing!) and baseball! This has allowed him to get more of the nutrients he needs to grow and get stronger. With the G-tube, he was never able to tolerate nighttime feeds, but with GJ-tube feeds, he tolerates feeds every single night! This means he has more time off a pump to just run around and be a kid.
We love AMT and originally had a MiniONE® Balloon Button. We have been using AMT products for four to five years now, and the quality never disappoints me. We are so grateful to AMT and its products because they truly saved my son’s life.
Navigating chronic illness in a child has been difficult, but it’s helpful to have products that make life easier and a community of others facing similar issues.
