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.
