Nutritional Requirements/ Route of Delivery
	
We are suggesting a Parenteral feeding administered through a central line.  
Enteral feeding is not appropriate because 
the inflammation of the small intestine is located in the illeum and enteral 
feeding at this position would only lead to 
increased output of the fistula.  The fistula is also a long-term (3 to 5 weeks) 
problem to prompt a parenteral feeding 
and may have high osmolarity to prompt a central line to prevent the “busting” 
of a vein during a long-term TPN feeding.
