Abstract
The invention relates to the use of a protein component based on conventional proteins used for the production of foods, at least 20 wt-% thereof having a phosphate residue, which is covalently bound to the protein, whereby 50 to 100 wt-% of the proteins including at least one covalently bound phosphate residue, are subjected to a dephosphorylation reaction wherein 20 to 100% of the covalently bound phosphate residues were removed, for a treatment of adult and adolescent patients, as well as of babies and small children suffering from a disturbed gastrointestinal motility and of reflux-predisposed patients. The use of said protein component not only allows for a sufficient protein supply but it also passes rapidly through the stomach and prevents the stomach contents from flowing back into the oesophagus.
