Enteral Nutrition (EN) serves as a vital lifeline for patients unable to meet their nutritional needs orally but who retain a functional gastrointestinal tract. As the glöbal trend shifts toward Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN), particularly in patients requiring long-term nutritional support, the need for context-specific, safe, and standardized feeding practices has become paramount. This comprehensive document, developed under the aegis of IAPEN INDIA's Task Force on Enteral Nutrition, bridges the gap between scientific precision and practical feasibility in Indian home-care settings. Recognizing the unique challenges of cost, accessibility, caregiver education, and resource variability, this book offers evidence-based and culturally adaptable recommendations for blenderized feeds tailored to diverse clinical conditions. Drawing on the Indian Food Composition Tables (NIN-ICMR 2017), these guidelines present standardized exchange lists and formulations that empower clinicians and dietitians to plan nutritionally complete, safe, and patient-centered home enteral feeding regimens. The document covers: * Indications and principles of enteral feeding * Routes and methods of administration * Benefits and limitations of blenderized tube feeds * Condition-specific feed adaptations (renal, hepatic, post-surgical, neurological, etc.) *Stepwise methodology for home-based standardization using household measures With contributions from experienced clinical dietitians and nutrition experts across India, this volume marks a milestone in India's journey toward self-reliant, evidence-based enteral nutrition practice. It emphasizes patient dignity, safety, and quality of life aligning with IAPEN INDIA's mission to advance the science and practice of clinical nutrition. A must-have reference for dietitians, clinicians, caregivers, and academicians, this book transforms complex nutritional science into accessible, patient-oriented practice ensuring that no patient is denied optimal nutrition simply because care has shifted from hospital to home.
