Study Details

This research study is being conducted to determine the effects of enteral nutrition on healthy people. Enteral nutrition for the purpose of this study refers to the use of a specially developed formula taken by mouth that provides all essential nutrition either in the absence of food or to supplement the intake of foods. Enteral nutrition can be used for many reasons, such as to gain or lose weight, to treat food allergies, or to reduce inflammation in certain intestinal diseases. We would like to understand the effects of enteral nutrition in the absence of intestinal inflammation.
