Homemade Tube Feeding Formula

Contributor
By Daniel Westlake, eHow Contributing Writer

Tube feeding is necessary for a variety of types of medical conditions but is most often used for people who have had surgery or some type of medical condition occur in or on their mouths. Most of these people can consume regular food but just can't eat it due to the state of their mouths, jaws or teeth. Fortunately, there are a number of recipes that can be made at home to create a formula for feeding someone in this condition through a tube.
