Selection of Formulas for Enteral
Nutrition

I. Yankov, I. Vladimirova, R. Pancheva


Abstract

The availability of specialized enteral formulas has increased over the past 20 years as supplement to the regular diet. Enteral feeds have been developed both for general fortification of food with energy and nutrients, and for use independently in many diseases, including – renal failure, diseases of the digestive system, diabetes, liver failure, acute and chronic lung diseases, and immunodeficiency conditions.
Formulas with micronutrient and fiber supplements are also often recommended for use in children with certain types of motility disorders or nutritional deficiencies. There are sometimes significant differences between different enteral feeding formulas, even though they are intended for use in the same disease.

We present an overview of different foods for enteral nutrition and the rationale for their use in various diseases. Unfortunately, many of the available foods are not available on the Bulgarian market. Nevertheless, we have tried to present the largest possible range of foods, hoping that more and more
of them will become available to Bulgarian children.

Key words: enteral foods, enteral nutrition, foods for special medical needs, tube feeding, nutritional support
