Nutren was very hard on me as well. Been on Fiber Source 2.0 and handling it pretty well for about 5 months now. I began having some reflux issues and was cut back to 8 oz. per feeding, with more frequent feedings (Already on Omeprozole). It done the trick! So far so good. Going to search out the websites Gary and others mention. I have been able to up my oral intake some (After being told I probably wouldn't ever have a normal oral diet; Yeah, I'm stubborn that way), but I haven't attempted to blend anything on my own at this point. Plus, five minutes with a tube feed compared to a couple hours to even make a dent in a meal, well, yes, I can calculate the hours in ones day. Still, feeling blessed I'm getting some "Normal" satisfaction (With a ton of water-LOL). Best to all.
