Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Using a longitudinal cohort design, we will compare the impact of a high BA-binding blenderized diet compared to a low BA-binding blenderized diet and an amino acid-based formula, on gastrointestinal and pulmonary hospitalization and emergency room visit rates over six months.
