Summary
This study looks at whether foods that bind to bile acid can lower its levels in the stomach and saliva of children who rely on feeding tubes. The goal is to reduce the risk of breathing problems caused by stomach contents entering the lungs. About 60 children will receive different diets through their feeding tubes, and researchers will measure bile acid levels over four hours.
