Developing a Blended diet guideline Developing Blended Diet Guideline

Nestlé Health Science’s Enteral Support Network held its latest Elevate Your Clinical Practice study day in London on Tuesday 17th June, 2025. Bringing together 17 dietitians from across England, the meeting was an opportunity to share practical and scientific perspectives on the role of fibre in enteral nutrition.

Human milk contains bioactive components that confer protection on the newborn. These include complex carbohydrates called Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMO). Research is revealing the full extent of the beneficial properties of HMOs.

HMOs, the third solid component of human milk, are complex structures with a high potential for specific functions. HMOs and prebiotic oligosaccharides have completely different structures, which impact on their functions. Additionally to prebiotic effects, HMOs reduces adhesion of pathogens and have immune modulator effect.

This video focuses on two of the most abundant and wellresearched human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) - 2′FL and LNnT. It outlines their roles in supporting immune function, strengthening the gut barrier, and modulating microbiota, and how these mechanisms support with the dietary management of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA).

This video provides a brief overview of how human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) support immune protection — showing how they block pathogen adhesion, promote beneficial microbiota, and help modulate epithelial and immune cell responses to strengthen earlylife immunity.

This video looks at the HMO journey—decades of scientific research that have deepened our understanding of what human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are and how they contribute to the development of infant immunity. It highlights how this evidence base has enabled Nestlé to incorporate key HMOs into specialist infant formulas, supporting continued innovation.

This video offers an introduction to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), a key component of human milk. In this introduction we look at what HMOs are, how they are formed and how their benefits are linked to their unique structures.

Learn how to develop a structured, evidence-based approach to support blended diets and enteral tube feeds with food-derived ingredients as first-line options for children requiring enteral nutrition.

Meet Sandy. After being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in November 2014, she now faces a tough choice to lose weight or begin medication. In the hope of achieving remission from her diabetes, Sandy embarks on a plan to help her lose weight.

This webinar had the focus on the use of fibre supplements' in the nutritional management of patients with acute illness. The speaker, Nirouz Zarroug, discussed the impact of clinical decisions related to patient care.

This video and booklet will walk you through the journey of blended diets in the UK and the use of tube feeds with food derived ingredients (FDI), including case studies.

Watch if an enteral tube feed containing food-derived ingredients can improve both the physical health and mental wellbeing of an adult patient. Switching to an enteral tube feed containing food-derived ingredients helped Patient X’s physical health and management, and resulted in great psychological benefits.
