A nutritional composition, suitable for enteral administration, is described which contains 5-120 g of composite dietary fibre per daily dosage of the composition or per 2000 kcal, which fibre consists of 15-50 wt. % of soluble non-starch polysaccharides, such as gum arabic or pectin, 15-45 wt. % of insoluble non-starch polysaccharides, such as cellulose and hemicellulose, and 8-70 wt. % of oligosaccharides and/or resistant starch and/or lignin. The oligosaccharides such as inulin or hydrolyzed inulin can be present at a level of 8-40 wt. %. The resistant starch may be present at a level of 5-30 wt. %. The composition may further contain carbohydrates and/or fats and/or proteinaceous material and may be dry or liquid. It may be used as a complete food or a food supplement, e.g. for clinical patients or infants.
