The Effect of Elemental Diet on Gastric Emptying
The Comparative Study of Elemental Diet and Regular Liquid Diet on Gastric Emptying in Patients With Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy

In patients with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) delayed gastric emptying has been speculated as a cause of aspiration pneumonia. Elemental diet may facilitate gastric emptying in PEG patients as compared with regular liquid enteral nutrients, resulting in the prevention of aspiration pneumonia.
