At Wilbo’s Blends we are passionate about the blended diet and the life changing impact it can have for people with a feeding tube.
We know that tube feeding can be overwhelming, it is hard to understand and navigate all the information in order to do what is best for you or your loved one.
The blended diet for tube feeding has become increasingly popular for good reason. More research is being published all the time showing the benefits a real food blended diet can have on gastrointestinal symptoms like reflux, vomiting, constipation, gas and discomfort or diarrhoea. People on a blended diet often report feeling better, with increased energy and improved skin and hair. Food is fundamental to our health and overall wellbeing and real food is more social and inclusive.
Meet our dietitians
Our dietetics appointments are designed to give you a much more personal level of support at any stage of the tube feeding journey. Whether you are preparing for a new feeding tube, exploring switching from formula or planning for removing the need for a feeding tube, our dietitians can help guide you along the way.
