There can be multiple causes of diarrhea with tube feeds. (1) The rate of flow is too fast. When too much formula hits the gut at once, the gut can react with diarrhea. The solution is to feed more slowly. (2) Sometimes the osmolarity of the formula is more than the gut can handle. Fluid is drawn in to the gut to equalize the osmolarity, thus causing diarrhea. The solution is to adjust the calorie density of the formula (do NOT do this without consulting a dietician or physician!).
