What Is the Best Tube Feeding Formula?

If you're trying to find the best tube feeding formula for yourself or a loved one, the answer might be no formula at all! Our co-founder, Julie Bombacino, talks about what's in most commercial formulas and why real food is often a better option for people with feeding tubes. A blenderized diet can provide great nutrition for someone with a feeding tube!

If you’re new to Real Food Blends, here are some helpful links for information about our meals and how to get started:

My mom had PEG attached to her stomach when she kept on vomiting til she got malnourished. She's been bedridden for 3 years and after giving her formula for some time with no improvement, and often has constipation, we met a bio-nutritionist. He gave the following food to be blenderized: Rolled Oats, raw Cardava banana(triploid hybrid banana cultivar- to be added to the oats when the heat is turned off), cabbage and pure goat's milk. My mom is stronger and now doesn't sleep that much anymore. No more constipation. She already interacts with the people around her. Now we add Extra Virgin Olive oil and things are turning out well. She doesn't vomit anymore. We hope for the best.

My problem is that our insurance won’t pay for this formula for our 4 year old son
