We evaluate the need for specialized diets and provide detailed counseling for any nutritional prescription. Proper nutrition to those patients who are unable to eat orally is given through tube feeding. Individualized counseling of patients on enteral feeding is carried out for patients on naso-gastric feeding, PEG or jejunostomy feeding.
