Hi Jan, thank you for choosing Huel! We’re happy to have you join our community of Huelers! Here’s a little info on using Huel with a feeding tube:
If there are no contraindications for using Huel relating to the medical condition, Huel can be administered through a nasogastric (NG) or PEG tube via the bolus / syringe method of administration. Due to Huel’s ingredients and nutritional profile, it can be a great way of helping to curb hunger. As Huel has the ground flaxseed particles, please follow these essential points to prevent the tube from blocking:
- Flush the tube with at least 50ml of water before AND immediately after administering the Huel boluses.
- Blend Huel well with plenty of water: 100g Huel in 500ml water.
- Maintain good tube care as you would for any feed as per the instructions from your clinical staff.
