WHAT We Tell the Caregivers
Sample Instructions Puree By Gtube Diet (PBGT) Diet for __________
The PBGT diet is for the treatment of gagging, refluxing, Nissen fundoplications, and volume intolerance. This diet requires a 14-16 French G-tube and is administered via Plunger Syringe. You will first start with a 1 oz. bolus pushed slowly over 10 minutes. You will gradually increase bolus to the goal of 2-4 oz. After preparing the formula you will draw up the formula into 60 ml syringes. This recipe should make 20 oz. Recipe: Wash hands, clean area and all utensils. Initially, need to continue 50% of estimated needs (375 calories) by continuous feed of the Pediasure overnight. 47 mL for 8 hrs. Eventually, ____ should be able to tolerate entire PBGT recipe by bolus feeds and we can d/c nighttime Pediasure. Once she can tolerate 60 mL boluses, you can decrease to 47 x 6 hours overnight and once she is tolerating 90 mL boluses, can decrease to 4 hour overnight. Once she is tolerating 100% of daytime bolus, we can discontinue the overnight altogether.
Begin with 1 oz (30mL) of puree mixture given through 60 mL syringe. This can be given every 3 hrs (about 5 times during the day).
Example schedule: 10 pm – 6 am = Pediasure 47 mL for 8 hours 8 am – 30 mL puree 11 am – 30 mL puree 2 pm – 30 mL puree 5 pm – 30 mL puree 8 pm– 30 mL puree
Do 30 mL for a couple of days, and can increase by 1 oz (30 mL) at a time as tolerated every few days. Suspect the final volume will be around 570 mL (19 oz). Eventual goal should be around around 100 mL of puree (3.5 oz), 5 times daily. It should take about 10-15 minutes to push the mixture slowly through the tube.

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
WHAT We Tell Caregivers
RECIPE: ● 8 Fluid Ounces of Pediasure ● 1 jar sweet potato (4 oz) ● 1 jar infant meat (~2.5 oz) ● 1 jar green beans (4 oz) ● 1 jar banana (4 oz) ● 1/4 cup of dry infant rice or oatmeal cereal ● 1 tablespoon of canola or olive oil ● 2 tablespoon of cornstarch ● ¼ teaspoon of table salt
Makes ~780 calories (about 40 kcal/oz), 37% fat, 53% carbohydrate, 2.5 g/kg protein and approximately 570 mL of volume .
Ingredients can all be added to wide mouth container and shaken or stirred. There is no need to use a blender with the infant foods. The mixture should be very thick! Whatever is not used should be discarded within 24 hours.
Use stage 2 baby food jars (3.5-4 oz each). The above is an example; **You can switch out the fruits and vegetables daily, making sure you provide variety of colors on same day (ex: orange and green) in order to ensure variety of nutrients. Choose fruits and vegetables from both vitamin C (applesauce, pears, green beans, peas, spinach) and vitamin A (squash, carrots, sweet potato, peaches, apricots ) categories daily as well as high in potassium (banana, prunes). Can also switch out infant meats daily as well. Will also need an added vitamin D and calcium liquid supplement or can crush a tablet and add to mixture. Make sure it has added calcium (at least 200-300 mg and at least 400 IU of vitamin D.)
Follow by 5mL of water to cleanse the tube. Do not provide more water directly following feeds as this will add to volume and dilute the concentrated mixture. We will give additional water that is needed at least 1-2 hours after bolus feeds. Needs additional ______ mL of water per day. Could be done as 5- ___ mL boluses at least 1-2 hours before or after each pureed bolus. Alternatively total volume of extra water needed can be provided as overnight continuous drip.
Will need f/u with labs in 3 months. 26
