A 35-year-old man, who had spent 10[Formula: see text] out of 18 months in hospital, has required repeated courses of intravenous nutrition (IVN) because of nutritional failure due to severe inflammatory bowel disease. He has been maintained on a nocturnal pump-fed liquid diet supplementing his day-time oral diet jar five months, four of which have been at home. The cost of such therapy is less than with an elemental diet and there are other advantages. This regime has been shown to be nutritionally adequate. The need to assess other cheaper liquid diets in patients with intestinal failure is recognised.
