A new tube feed made up from separate sachets of 1-amino acids and saccharides, and mixed with milk, has been given to five patients for a total of 49 days. The preparation, administration and tolerance of the feed has been uncomplicated, and the electrolyte, calorie and nitrogen content could be easily varied according to the patient's needs. A simple metabolic study of the patients was made during the administration of the feed.
