[PROBLEMS] To provide an enteric gelatinous nutrient which can be safely and easily taken by a patient with dysphagia or a patient under tube feeding without causing gastro-esophageal reflux. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] An enteric gelatinous nutrient having an appropriate physical value as specified below for preventing a patient with dysphagia or a patient under tube feeding from gastro-esophageal reflux: namely, immediately after mixing the enteric gelatinous nutrient with an aqueous solution having a definite pH value at a weight ratio of 3:7 and gently stirring for 5 seconds, the elution ratio of nutritional components being from 0 to 0.2. An enteric gelatinous nutrient having a physical value as specified below: namely, after mixing the enteric gelatinous nutrient with an aqueous solution having a definite pH value at a weight ratio of 3:7, allowing the mixture to stand for 30 minutes and then gently stirring for 5 seconds, the elution ratio of nutritional components being from 0 to 0.45.
