Tag: Feeding tube recipes

According to the ALS Association, tube feeding can be used to supplement or replace eating foods through the mouth when a person cannot consume enough calories or has difficulty swallowing. Deciding **what foods to eat with a feeding tube** can be complex, involving a choice between commercial formulas and carefully prepared homemade blends.

A study by Viera et al. reported significant inconsistencies in the nutrient content of homemade blenderized tube feedings (BTFs) compared to commercial formulas. This research highlights precisely why it is important to measure accurately when following blenderized tube feeding recipes, as precision is critical for a patient's health, safety, and nutritional adequacy.
