Nutrition

One of our friends in this group asked some information about diet while using PEG.  The same person indicated that he was giving 4 scoops of Ensure Plus per day.

After reading and doing a little bit of asking around, I feel that you are not giving enough nutrition.  If Ensure Plus is the only nutrition you are giving, according to the recommendation 4 scoops per day is way below the recommended 15 to 18 scoops per day.  According to the recommendation you are supposed to give 3 servings per day, each serving is around 50 grams (5 to 6 scoops) in 200 ml of water.  My wife, we give approximately 5 to 6 feeds per day and we give around 2 to 3 scoops per feed.  In addition, we mix the regular stuff that we eat such as boiled vegetables, dal, dalia, protein biscuits etc to the feed. Please check with your doctor and increase the intake as soon as possible.
