· The feeding with a NCJ resulted in odds ratios that favor this enteral route over the gastric tube. In addition semi-elemental formula seemed to be three times better than standard formula (Table 4). In part, this might have been confounded by the use of either duodenal tubes or NCJ, because the NCJ showed the fewest problems in use.
Enteral nutrition can be administered orally (i.e. drinking the enteral formula), or via use of an enteral feed (tube feeding). Please note that Physicians’ Elemental Diet™ is not intended for tube feeding. The primary types of formulas include elemental diets, semi-elemental diets, polymeric (also referred to as “intact” formulas
What is elemental formula in tube feeding? Like standard formulas, elemental formulas are nutritionally complete, which means they contain all the essential nutrients. Elemental formulas are different because they contain some nutrients, such as protein and fat that are "broken down" into smaller components to make them easier to digest.
