What can you eat with a feeding tube?
Foods that are popular for blending include sweet potatoes, bananas, quinoa, avocado, oats, nut and seed butters, chicken, yogurt, kefir, various grains, and milk (cow's, soy, almond, coconut, etc). Other liquids include water, broths, and juices.
Liquid Nutrition Supplements: Ready-to-use liquid formulas specifically designed for enteral feeding are commonly used. These formulas provide a balanced mix of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), vitamins, and minerals. They are available in various flavors and can be tailored to meet specific nutritional needs.
Blenderized Foods: Some individuals may have their regular food blended to a smooth consistency for tube feeding. This can include pureed fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains. It is important to consult a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to ensure that the blended food meets the nutritional requirements and can flow easily through the feeding tube.
Thickened Liquids: For individuals with swallowing difficulties or aspiration risks, liquids may need to be thickened to prevent choking or aspiration. Thickening agents can be added to liquids such as water, juice, or broth to achieve the desired consistency for safe tube feeding.
Medications: Feeding tubes can also be used to administer medications in liquid form. Medications may need to be crushed or dissolved in liquid before administration through the tube. Always consult with healthcare professionals to ensure the compatibility and appropriate administration of
medications through the feeding tube.
