About this trial

Using a four-week randomized, crossover study design, we will assess the impact of 2 weeks of a high bile acid-binding blenderized diet, compared to 2 weeks of a low bile acid-binding blenderized diet, on gastric and salivary bile acid concentrations within individual participants. Four weeks of an amino acid formula will be a comparator group.
