New Real-Food tube feed put to the test in kids
NCT ID NCT07036081
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether children aged 3 to 15 who need feeding through a tube would accept and tolerate a new formula made from real food called Wilbo's Blends+. For one week, participants used the formula as part of their regular feeding plan, and parents recorded any stomach issues like bloating or vomiting. The goal was to see if this real-food option is easy to use and comfortable for children.
