Feeding tube nutrition suggestions needed

Have you tried applesauce, or does that have too much pectin in it for a g tube? Baby food may offer a suitable consistency of it. Applesauce might slow transit time, allowing more time for absorption of your other foods. Yogurt (lactose free) helped me to maintain my weight, but kefir seems a better bet for g tubes.

Thank you for suggesting applesauce. I haven't tried it but will. Yogurt is another good suggestion. I remember trying it when I first got the tube and was trying to figure out what to use but don't recall why I stopped. I'll see if I can make it work.
