Tag: Feeding tube diet

According to research, many individuals with a functional gastrointestinal tract can tolerate and benefit from a diet that incorporates real, blenderized foods administered through a feeding tube. A percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube allows for a wider variety of foods, provided they are correctly prepared, but it is crucial to understand what foods you can eat with a PEG tube and how to ensure proper nutrition.

Developed by Italian professor Gianfranco Cappello, the **Ken protein diet** is an extreme and medically supervised weight loss approach that involves delivering a low-calorie, protein-only solution directly to the stomach via a nasogastric feeding tube for 10-day cycles [1, 2]. Unlike conventional diets, this method is an invasive procedure with significant potential health risks and should not be considered a standard dietary plan [1, 3].
