  • Allergies or intolerances that may exist to a variety of different foods.
  • Heart disease or diabetes mellitus that may co-exist with other problems such as gout, kidney or liver disease.
  • Some forms of cancer that may disrupt normal gastric function.
  • Post- operative situations where there may be swallowing difficulties or altered nutrient absorption.
  • Managing the nutritional needs of a child for growth and development when they may also suffer from a congenital illness or are undergoing surgical repairs or related treatments.
