What are the potential risks of Ensure enteral nutrition powder?

Enteral nutrition powder generally refers to the powdered form of enteral nutrition. Proper use of enteral nutrition powder generally poses no harm. However, excessive use may lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, increased digestive burden, and other hazards. It is necessary to use it under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Abdominal Pain
Excessive use of enteral nutrition powder in daily life may increase food intake in the stomach, causing symptoms such as local pain and a sense of fullness.

2. Diarrhea
If gastrointestinal irritation is not improved, there may be an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, accompanied by symptoms such as watery stool and stool resembling egg flower soup.

3. Nausea and Vomiting
If food cannot be digested and absorbed in a timely manner, it may lead to nausea, vomiting, and early satiety, affecting the intake of nutrients.

4. Increased Digestive Burden
If a large amount of enteral nutrition powder is consumed at one time, it may increase the digestive burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

In addition, there may also be allergic reactions, accompanied by symptoms such as skin redness and itchiness. Enteral nutrition powder is suitable for patients with severe metabolic disorders and gastrointestinal dysfunction, but not for normal individuals. If abnormal physical conditions occur during medication, medical attention should be sought promptly for diagnosis.
