This study was to determine the effect of an intermittent defined formula diet on growth and disease activity in children with Crohn’s disease and growth failure. The results indicate that an intermittent defined formula diet can improve growth failure and significantly decrease disease activity in children with Crohn's disease.

Compleat® paediatric is a nutritionally complete 1.2kcal/ml standard enteral tube feed, containing food-derived ingredients (rehydrated chicken meat and vegetables, peach puree, orange juice from concentrate). Compleat® paediatric is a Food for Special Medical Purposes for use under medical supervision.
Nutritionally complete paediatric tube feed with a unique blend of whole foods
Purposefully designed with wholesome and familiar food ingredients to meet the nutritional needs of children requiring enteral nutrition.
In this webinar, Jodie Bartle, Paediatric Dietitian, Oncology/Immunology at The Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, takes us through the findings of her clinical research and how she arrived at a Nutrition Feeding Algorithm for Children and Adolescents undergoing Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), to assist clinicians to make objective and consistent enteral feeding decisions.
Children with medical complexity switched to AA-MCT formula demonstrated growth. Formula was well tolerated, as shown by increased intake of formula, appropriate growth for age and BMI z-scores up to 1 year post-switch.
Nutrition support during the acute phase post allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is required to optimise short- and long-term outcomes for children. An algorithm was developed and evaluated to assist clinicians to make objective and consistent enteral feeding decisions and has shown to help support better weight outcomes and reduced LOS in this patient cohort.
The Nutritional Support in Children with Neurological Impairment brochure is an ideal resource on how to support children with Cerebral Palsy in their nutritional management, taking a wholistic and multi-disciplinary approach. This resource is ideal for those in the field of Neurology, Gastroenterology, Physiotherapy, Nursing, Speech Therapy, Social Work, and Nutrition and Dietetics.
Paediatric Nutrition in Practice (PNP) eLearning Program aims to provide information to healthcare professionals who are looking for practical guidance on relevant issues surrounding the nutrition management of infants, children and adolescents. This eLearning Program has 12 modules that can be completed.
Watch our webinar as Dr. Graeme O'Connor Ph.D., RD, MBDA reviews the clinical evidence on the impact of an enteral formula with food-derived ingredients in children.
An online brochure that explores how whey peptide formulas may help to achieve better outcomes for patients who are unable to digest or absorb standard enteral formulas. This brochure has been developed specifically for Peptamen Junior which is a specialised enteral nutrition formula designed for children aged 1-10 years with gastrointestinal impairment.
Neurological disability is often associated with feeding and gastrointestinal disorders leading to malnutrition and growth failure. These clinical guidelines by ESPGHAN provide necessary nutritional and clinical guidance including assessment and monitoring of nutritional status, definition of nutritional requirements, diagnosis and treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, and indications for and modalities of nutritional support.
Children with developmental delays are often dependent on enteral nutrition. This study evaluated the benefits of switching to a 100% whey, peptide-based formula from an intact protein based formula, which resulted in improved symptoms of feeding intolerance in the majority (92%) of developmentally delayed children eligible for the study.
