Understanding Enteral Feeding
When a loved one is unable to eat or drink enough to maintain their health, enteral feeding becomes a vital lifeline. It’s a method where nutrients are delivered directly into the stomach or intestines through a tube. This may sound daunting, but with the right support, it can be seamlessly integrated into daily life, ensuring your loved one gets the nourishment they need.
What Is Enteral Feeding?
Enteral feeding involves the use of a tube to provide food and fluids directly into the digestive system. It’s often recommended for individuals who have difficulty swallowing, have a blockage in the esophagus, or are dealing with certain medical conditions that prevent them from eating normally. The process can be temporary or long-term, depending on the individual’s needs.
