A multi-centre, single arm study to evaluate the gastrointestinal tolerance and compliance of a high energy adult enteral tube feed with food derived ingredients -
Home-made food via a feeding tube is becoming increasingly common. Adult studies have shown benefits of using a commercial formula with food-derived ingredients (FDI): significantly lower rates of constipation, nausea, and vomiting (P < 0.05)1. A prospective, multi-centre study assessed gastro-intestinal tolerance and compliance of an enteral formula with 19% of FDI (Compleat _1.5 HP Nestlé Health Science) in children and adults.
