ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and nutritional composition for providing nutrition to pediatric patients. The methods of the present invention are especially directed to pediatric patients recovering from moderate trauma, burns or surgery. Pursuant to the present invention, the enteral composition includes a rapidly emptying, low gastric reflux protein source comprising approximately 10% to 14% of the total calories, a carbohydrate source and a lipid source comprising a mixture of medium and long chain triglycerides, wherein at least 20% of the lipid source are medium chain triglycerides.
