Nutritional Support

Nutritional support is therapy for people who cannot get enough nourishment by eating or drinking. You may need it if you :

  • Can't swallow
  • Have problems with your appetite
  • Are severely malnourished
  • Can't absorb nutrients through your digestive system

You receive nutritional support through a needle or catheter placed in your vein or with a feeding tube, which goes into your stomach.
