Summary
This study tests a device called RELiZORB that attaches to a feeding tube and pre-digests fat, making it easier for children with short bowel syndrome to absorb nutrients. The goal is to see if it can safely reduce or eliminate the need for intravenous (IV) nutrition, which can cause liver problems. The study includes 32 children aged 2 to 18 who rely on IV nutrition and will use the device daily for 90 days.
