Check with your doc or the nutritionist. Some patients add benefiber or other similar over the counter fiber product to their formula. Easiest way to add things is if you are doing the over night feedings thru the kangaroo pump. You can put 3 cans (with a little water) into a 1000ml bag along with fiber or other additive, shake well and let it run overnight while you sleep. No feeing pump? Check with your doc or nutritionist to arrange to give you a prescription for one. You can get this thru a medical supply company along with all the necessary requirements (drain sponges, syringes, etc).
