What is Enteral Nutrition?
Enteral nutrition refers to any method of feeding that utilizes the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to deliver part or all of a person's caloric requirements. When a person has difficulty consuming food due to dysphagia (difficulty swallowing due to CVA or stroke), head and neck cancer, or aspiration pneumonia, to name a few indications, and if the GI tract is working correctly, enteral nutrition may be recommended by their physician. It can be short or long-term, and may be taken orally or administered via a feeding tube. There are many resources available for enteral nutrition. Links to some of these resources can be found on our Community Resources page.
