Overview

Bone marrow transplant involves strong medications and the infusion of bone marrow cells. These treatments can cause problems like loss of appetite, mouth sores, and digestive problems, leading to malnutrition. While feeding through a vein (parenteral nutrition) is commonly used, it can increase the risk of infection. Feeding through a tube into the stomach (enteral nutrition) is an alternative, and adding substances like glutamine to feeding solutions is also being studied. However, more research is needed to determine the best way to provide nutrition after bone marrow transplantation.
