An enteral feeding tube provides a conduit for the flow of liquid nutritional material. Most of the enteral feeding tube that is external to the patient is generally horizontal when the device is positioned in a stoma of a user lying in a prostrate position. A housing surrounds the horizontal portion enteral feeding tube, provides a low profile, aids in holding the enteral feeding tube in place, and protects the enteral feeding tube. The bottom surface of the housing comprises a resilient material that contacts the skin of the patient. The enteral feeding tube comprises a balloon that is positioned in the stomach to retain the device in the stomach. An air conduit extends generally vertically from an upper portion of the housing and through the enteral feeding tube to communicate with the balloon.
