Living with your feeding tube
Your healthcare professional has recommended a feeding tube for you or the person you care for.
Living with a feeding tube involves many different pieces of equipment and there are different methods of receiving your enteral nutrition. All the equipment you need to start tube feeding at home will be given to you by your healthcare team, who will also explain how to use it. You will receive your enteral nutrition either via a feeding pump, by bolus feeding, or by gravity drip feeding. Find out more about each below.
This information is intended for patients who have been prescribed a tube feed by a healthcare professional.
