Home Enteral & Parenteral Nutrition Support

Individualized nutrition care for patients receiving tube feeding or intravenous nutrition at home.

When nutrition needs cannot be met adequately through eating and drinking, enteral or parenteral nutrition may provide essential nutrition support.

Living with a feeding tube or home parenteral nutrition can require ongoing adjustments as your health, nutritional needs, tolerance, medications, and ability to eat changes.

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I provide individualized nutrition care to help you meet your nutrition needs, monitor your response to nutrition support, address feeding-related concerns, and adapt your nutrition plan as your needs change.

Nutrition Support I Can Help With

Nutrition support needs can vary depending on your medical condition, gastrointestinal function, ability to eat, and stage of care.

Home Enteral Nutrition

Nutrition support provided through a feeding tube when oral intake is not adequate and the gastrointestinal tract can be used to provide nutrition.

Home Parenteral Nutrition

Nutrition provided intravenously when the gastrointestinal tract cannot adequately provide or absorb sufficient nutrients.

Feeding Intolerance

Nutrition strategies for symptoms or challenges that may affect tolerance, hydration, intake, or nutritional status.

Transition Toward Oral Intake

Supporting gradual increases in eating and drinking when your medical team determines that transition is appropriate, while helping maintain adequate nutrition during the process.

Long-Term Nutrition Support

Ongoing monitoring and adjustment as your medical condition, nutritional needs, treatment, and ability to eat change.

What We May Work On

Your care begins with understanding why nutrition support is needed, your current feeding regimen, medical history, nutritional status, symptoms, medications, laboratory information, and ability to eat or drink.

From there, we can focus on the area’s most relevant to your needs.

Nutrition Needs & Hydration

Individualizing energy, protein, fluid, vitamin, mineral, and other nutrient needs while monitoring weight, hydration, intake, and nutritional status.

Formula & Feeding Plan

Reviewing the nutrition regimen, including formula selection, volume, timing, and feeding schedule as part of your overall nutrition care plan.

Tolerance & Symptoms

Addressing nutrition-related concerns such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, abdominal discomfort, early satiety, or difficulty meeting nutrition goals.

Oral Intake, Education & Home Management

Supporting oral intake when medically appropriate and helping patients and caregivers understand the nutrition plan, feeding schedule, food safety, and practical strategies for managing nutrition support at home.

Your Nutrition Support Plan Is Individualized

Nutrition support is not simply about providing calories.

Your nutrition assessment may consider your medical condition, reason for nutrition support, current intake, weight history, nutritional status, gastrointestinal function, symptoms, medications, laboratory findings, feeding regimen, and home environment.

We can then monitor how you are responding and adjust the nutrition plan as your needs change. The goal is to help you receive adequate and appropriate nutrition, maintain or improve nutritional status, manage feeding-related challenges, and support the safest and most appropriate transition between oral, enteral, and parenteral nutrition when possible.

Care as Part of Your Medical Team

Home enteral and parenteral nutrition often involves several healthcare professionals.

Nutrition care is provided as part of your broader medical team and does not replace the care of your physician, nurse, pharmacist, or other healthcare professionals.
