No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We will perform an acute physiology study comparing three different diets-an amino acid-based formula, a low bile acid-binding blenderized diet, or a high bile acid-binding blenderized diet administered through gastrostomy tube. We will determine the differences in gastric and salivary bile acid concentrations between participants over the 4 hour post-prandial timeframe.

Participants who regularly receive an amino acid-based formula will receive an amino acid-based formula during the study and participants who regularly receive a blenderized feed will receive a blenderized feed during the study. Only participants who regularly receive blenderized feeds will be randomized to receive either the high or low bile acid binding blenderized feed.

Conditions

  • Feeding Difficulties
  • Aspiration
  • Gastrostomy

Interventions

DRUG

We will administer one bolus of an amino acid based formula

DRUG

low bile acid binding blenderized diet (e.g. Kate Farms)

We will administer one bolus of a low bile acid binding blenderized diet

DRUG

high bile acid binding blenderized diet

We will administer one bolus of a high bile acid binding blenderized diet
