Real Food Blends Variety Pack - Pureed Food Meals for Tube Feeding with Protein, Vegetables & Fruits - 320–340 Calories Per Pouch for Lunch & Dinner - 9.4 oz (Pack of 12)

I’m thankful for these items. My son has problems with eating and to get a tube. These worked with both G-tube and by mouth feeding. I’ve done both gravity bolus feedings, syringe feeding, and feeding pump. These have been a great help graduating from g-tube removal to eating. He especially loves it when mixed in rice cereal and warm water to thin the thickness. Thank y’all so much!

If you have a loved one newly put on a PEG tube, please pay close attention.This product is literally a lifesaver. I have been caring for my mom and this has made her adjustment to feeding tube life much better. She has been on a feeding tube for over a year now and is finally thriving.After a fall She was initially placed on the hospital type tube feed and was losing weight dramatically. Her entire body weight was 79 pounds and we thought she was dying. It turned out that her body could not process the hospital administered formula type feed and she was failing to thrive.Since starting her on real food blends my mom has made a complete turnaround. Her hair has started to grow and shine, it was very thin and falling out. Her energy has returned and she is up and walking instead of laying in bed.When my mom was initially put on the feeding tube and was not doing well, I was desperate. She was in a nursing facility and initially put on the feeding tube formula in the upside down bottle and was not doing well. She was in a nursing facility and they would not allow me to provide homemade feeding tube formula. I ended up having her discharged to home. I spent a long time researching using real food in tube feedings and found this product. I add it to freshly prepared homemade food at home and she has gained 25 pounds and is doing better.She ended up having to go back into a nursing rehab facility after a heart attack. I got permission from the medical director and the nutritionist to use the real food blends administered by the nursing staff while she was a patient there for three months. I think that this is the only reason she is still alive. She is back home again and has gotten another Christmas to spend with her granddaughter and family.You do not have to use the hospital type food at home. Many elderly needlessly suffer from all of the unwanted side effects of the hospital type feeding tube formula. There is a better way to do this and your loved one can live a satisfying life, even if they can no longer eat by mouth.I am very, very grateful for this product.

After 7 weeks of oral radiation and a huge weight loss, my husband temporarily has a g-tube to supplement what he's able to eat by mouth. Ensure and other brands of nutritional drinks were making him sick so the hospital nutritionist gave us six varieties of Real Food to try. Game changer for him. Plus we love that it's real food so he's getting a good variety of nutrients, healthy proteins, fish, eggs, vegetables, grains and fruits. 320 to 340 calories per pack. Our insurance company pays about 70 percent of the cost, making them very affordable. I put a pack in the blender with a little water to thin them out for the g-tube. They must be used within 24 hours so I make 2 to 3 each morning and store them in 8 oz mason jars in the fridge. Very easy to use, and we have peace of mind knowing he's getting the nutrition he needs while recovering from chemo and radiation. Highly recommend. Great product.

They work great but are expensive.

So thankful for this brand!My mom had to use a feeding tube for a few weeks, and the stuff the hospital wanted her to use was just sugar and starches! You saved the day! She said she noticed that she felt “more full” when we would use these for her meals. It helped us through a hard time, and for that, I’m so thankful! Highly recommend!

It makes my stomach hurts so much , after the surgery I have to eat liquid food ,before 3 days I always drinking milk and juice . Today I ate two pack of this , and my stomach is like burning , it hurts me so much….

If you have a peg this food is number 1 . I don’t go food shopping anymore because I can’t get anything down the normal way that’s why I have a peg . I have cancer in my esophagus. By using the real food it gives you energy and every thing you need .

Product supplements my tube feeding fluid formula. Pricey but it is a good product and there are limited alternatives.
