The Battles of Nutrition

Life
without
food.

“Life doesn’t end with a feeding line. It just begins in a different way.”

Daz, living on artificial nutrition since 2018

A support network for people who cannot eat food

Here we understand the challenges you face, and offer a caring community where you can find understanding and encouragement. Family members and friends are welcome too, because your support matters to the people you love.

There is help for the medical side of artificial nutrition. What is missing is support for how it feels: the loneliness, the grief for food, and the strain on the people around us. That is what this community is for.
