Decrease in Gastric Emptying Time and Episodes of Regurgitation in Children
ABSTRACT The gastric emptying times associated with three whey based formulas were significantly shorted than that associated with a casein-based formula in nine gastrostomy-fed patients with spastic quadriplegia (p <0.001). Patients fed whey-based formulas had significantly fewer episodes of emesis than when they were fed casein-based formula (p<0.001). We conclude that whey-based formulas reduce the…
