Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of either elemental liquid diet or standard semi-solid diet on gastric emptying in both healthy subjects and bedridden patients receiving gastrostomy feeding.

Detailed description

A randomized, crossover trial using elemental liquid diet or standard semi-solid diet containing 13C sodium acetate as a tracer is performed in both healthy subjects and bedridden gastrostomy-fed patients. 13C breath tests is performed to estimate gastric emptying.

Conditions

• Gastric Emptying

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Elemental liquid diet	This is a randomized, crossover trial. Two types of test meals (200 kcal/200 mL of either the elemental diet or the semi-solid diet) are labeled with 100 mg \[13C\]sodium acetate and administered within 5 min in healthy subjects or within 15 min in gastrostomy-fed patients.
OTHER	Standard semi-solid diet	This is a randomized, crossover trial. Two types of test meals (200 kcal/200 mL of either the elemental diet or the semi-solid diet) are labeled with 100 mg \[13C\]sodium acetate and administered within 5 min in healthy subjects or within 15 min in gastrostomy-fed patients.
