Summary
Study 1: A randomized, crossover trial using elemental or semi-solid diets containing
contrast medium as a tracer given to bedridden PEG patients. The distribution of the
administered diets is assessed at the distal esophagus, proximal and distal stomach using a
plain CT before and 1 hour after the administration.
Study 2: A randomized, crossover trial using elemental or semi-solid diets containing 13C
sodium acetate as a tracer given to bedridden PEG patients. 13C breath tests are performed to
estimate gastric emptying.
