Brief summary

The objective is to evaluate the effect of no-commercial enteral diet for patients in home nutritional therapy in anthropometric and biochemical indices comparing to patients using commercial enteral diets.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTDietary therapy

A enteral diet formulation was developed to meet dietary requirements of adult patients. The formulation was standarized in household measures so that caregivers would prepare it and delivered it at the patients' home. Anthropometric measurements and blood samples were taken at baseline and at the end of the intervention which lasted four months.
