I just had open rny 10 days ago and still have the drainage tube. Today

I opened the top and shook it off like I was instructed and this thick white liquid with an odor poured out of it. For the all the world, it looked like the chicken soup I had for lunch!!! The soup had tiny pieces of spinach in it and so did the drainage! Is this normal? I called my doc and he is out of town. Does this tube drain the old stomach or the new pouch? Should there be food there? I am worried!!! Please help. A resident called me back and he said it sounded "normal" to him. Thank you for any advice. I am watching it next time to see if it is clear again. Also how often do you have to open this and drain it?
