New veggie tube feed for kids: will they tolerate it?
NCT ID NCT07378111
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether children aged 1 to 15 who need tube feeding can comfortably tolerate a new vegetarian formula made from real food ingredients. Over 28 days, researchers will track digestive symptoms and how much of the feed the children take. The goal is simply to see if the feed is acceptable, not to treat any disease.
