Interventions

  • Relizorb Enzyme Cartridge — DEVICE
    Tube feeds run across device to digest fats.

Study Details

Children with inadequate intestinal absorption due to loss of large amounts of small bowel require intravenous nutrition (feeding through the vein) to sustain hydration and nutrition to avoid starvation and dehydration; however, intravenous (IV) nutrition can lead to complications including liver failure. Tube feeding directly to the small intestine avoids the complications of IV nutrition, but fats are not fully digestible due to inadequate bowel function. We propose to predigest the fat using a small cartridge attached to the feeding tube to allow for rapid absorption with the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for intravenous nutrition. Goal of the observational study is to determine safety and tolerability of Relizorb Enzyme Cartridge for an additional 90 days after the original trial
