Abstract presented at The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) 2023 Nutrition Science & Practice Conference and published in the supplement of the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (JPEN).
Summary: Adults with gastroparesis were given Kate Farms Peptide 1.5 to supplement their diet with an attempt to determine if improving protein deficit can improve patient symptoms. Weight, GCSI (gastroparesis cardinal symptom index) and PAGI-SYM were measured at baseline, week 4, and week 12.
Key Takeaways:
After 4 weeks of therapy with a liquid nutritional supplement, 100% of patients had a reduction in their gastroparesis symptoms and 75% had a clinically meaningful reduction in their GCSI score (>0.5 reduction).
Use of Kate Farms Peptide 1.5 in adult patients with gastroparesis improved associated symptoms and clinical outcomes (GCSI, % Kcal deficit and % protein deficit).
