Bellyfood is all about real food for tube fed people. Because tube fed people deserves the possibility to choose real food on equal terms as everybody else. The products (formulas) that are currently available on the European market consists of highly processed ingredients such as maltodextrin, protein powder and vitamin and mineral powder. It is not unusual that patients using formulas suffers from multiple symptoms. The two most common are diarrhea and vomiting. Recent clinical studies show that blenderized food leads to significantly less incidents of diarrhea and vomiting and most important of all, a better quality of life. In Bellyfood we developed a series of real food meals for tube fed people. Our meals are nutritionally complete, gives sensory impressions and are similar to the meals that people would eat with their mouth. Bellyfood are for people from the age of 3-elderly. The product is categorized as Food for Special Medical Purposes. We offer vegan meals and meals made with primarily local ingredients. Our competitors lack agility, willingness to innovate and most of all, competition. A recognised market study shows that 40% of tube fed people in Scandinavia are seeking a real food product. Bellyfood is currently the only company in Europe offering series of tube-feeding-products with 100% real food. The founder of Bellyfood, Line, started Bellyfood when her son, Otto, did not thrive getting conventional tube feeding formulas. Until Line started introducing real food blends, Otto vomited several times a day. Line holds a background in civil engineering and has strong skills within analytics and numbers in general. Pia, the co-founder is a clinical dietitian with more than 10+ years experience within the field of tube feeding. Pia has seen how big an impact food can have on a patients ability to thrive and lot at least on life quality in general and thinks that every tube fed person should have the possibility to choose real food as well as commercial formulas. We are passionate about tube feeding and patients. We want to provide nutrition, sensory impressions and love and caring around an eating situation. Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions or comments.
