This study is looking at how different diets affect bile acid levels in the stomach and saliva of young people (ages 5-21) who get most of their nutrition through a gastrostomy (feeding tube). We are comparing three diets: an amino acid-based formula (like Elecare Jr), a low bile acid-binding blenderized diet (like Kate Farms), and a high bile acid-binding blenderized diet. The goal is to see if these diets change the amount of bile acid in your stomach after 4 hours. You can join if you receive at least 80% of your nutrition by gastrostomy and can receive bolus feeds of 240 cc within 30 minutes. The study status is currently unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 60 participants. Participants who regularly receive blenderized feeds will be randomly assigned to either the high or low bile acid binding blenderized feed.

What's involved

You will receive one bolus of a specific diet through your gastrostomy tube. Researchers will then measure bile acid concentrations in your stomach and saliva over a 4-hour period.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Bile acid concentrations will be measured for 4 hours after the diet is given.
