Tube-feeding formula thickness trial for stomach symptom relief
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether changing how thick your tube-feeding formula is can improve stomach symptoms like nausea, bloating, feeling full too soon, and early fullness. It may help people who mostly receive nutrition through a feeding tube and have moderate upper-GI symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 1 year
- Get more than 90% of your calories through a G-tube for over 6 months
- Have a G-tube that is at least 14 French in size
- Have moderate upper stomach symptoms (nausea, bloating, early fullness) with a high daily symptom score
- Be able to take bolus (scheduled, larger) tube feeds and stay on stable stomach-related medicines during the study

This study compares how “blended” tube feeds affect stomach and upper digestive function in children who use a feeding tube. It may help doctors understand whether blended feeds change digestion in ways that matter for comfort and physiology.
This trial tests if certain foods can lower bile acid levels in the upper part of the stomach for children who get most nutrition through a feeding tube. It may help understand and manage reflux symptoms related to bile.
This study looks at how using thickened feeds may change swallowing safety and function in children who have swallowing problems (dysphagia) or who are at risk for a type of concerning breathing event. The goal is to see whether thicker liquids help protect the airway and improve swallow patterns.
This trial looks at whether using thicker baby feeds can improve health outcomes for infants who have had their first “brief resolved unexplained event” (a short episode with no clear cause). It may help babies who are being monitored after this first episode.
This study tests if a blended tube-feeding formula made from real food is easy to tolerate and acceptable for people who already use a gastrostomy tube. It may be a good option if you or your child need extra nutrition through a tube.
This trial tests if drinking a special nutrition formula for a few weeks before getting a feeding tube can help people with ALS tolerate tube feeding better. It aims to reduce side effects like bloating or discomfort.
