The Elemental Diet Meals
An elemental diet is a diet that proposes the ingestion, or, in
more severe cases, use of a gastric feeding tube or intravenous
feed of liquidized nutrients, in an easily assimilated form. It
is usually composed of amino acids, fats, sugars, vitamins, and
minerals. This diet, however, lacks whole or partial protein,
due to its ability to cause an allergic reaction in some
people.
