Treatment Process For Our Intestinal Rehabilitation Patients
What to expect before, during, and after your treatment.
Our intestinal rehabilitation program is customized for each patient, following a comprehensive examination. It may include medical and/or surgical treatment, depending on the nature of your problem and the health of your digestive tract.
An Individualized Program
After assessing your condition, we will develop an individualized feeding regimen that may include specific foods, specialized formulas, different modes of feeding administration, several medicines, and even an oral motor/speech therapy regimen.
We will work to slowly transition you from parenteral nutrition (nutrition given through a catheter placed in a vein) to enteral nutrition (specialized formulas given by a tube in the stomach or small bowel) to food by mouth. Our program may also include medications or surgery to improve the functioning of your intestine.
Positive Outcomes
Most of our patients in this program are able to resume eating by mouth with limited support from a feeding tube, significantly improving their overall quality of life.
