Arm Description
Patients established on an oral nutritional supplement, being prescribed 1-2 oral nutritional supplement (ONS) providing at least 300 kcal/day will be changed onto an equivalent prescription of AYMES Rome for a period of 9 days
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
GI side effects when using AYMES Rome
Recording of absence/presence of any nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating / flatulence, when using AYMES Rome as assessed by presence / absence of side effect compared to baseline period
Secondary Outcome Measures
Change to bodyweight of subjects when using AYMES Rome
Recording of bodyweight (in kg) at start of study, start of intervention and end of intervention for comparison to investigate any trend in weight change during the intervention period compared to baseline
Compliance with prescription of AYMES Rome
Recording of amount of AYMES Rome consumed by subjects compared to amount prescribed. Good compliance = >80% of prescribed being consumed. Same data collected for baseline product and compared with that of AYMES Rome
Bowel habits of subjects when using AYMES Rome - frequency
Recording of bowel habits whilst subjects consuming AYMES Rome, as assessed by frequency of bowel movements (number of stools per day) and compared to same data recorded during baseline period
Bowel habits of subjects when using AYMES Rome - stool consistency
Recording of bowel habits whilst subjects consuming AYMES Rome, as assessed by consistency of stools (assessed by Bristol Stool Chart) and compared to same data recorded during baseline period

Arm Title
intervention
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
Patients established on an oral nutritional supplement, being prescribed 1-2 oral nutritional supplement (ONS) providing at least 300 kcal/day will be changed onto an equivalent prescription of AYMES Rome for a period of 9 days
Intervention Type
Dietary Supplement
Intervention Name(s)
AYMES ROME
Intervention Description
AYMES Rome is a powder, designed to be mixed with 250 ml water to make up a juice style ONS. When made up AYMES Rome provides 300 kcal (1 kcal / ml) and 10.7 g protein. It is not designed to be used as a sole source of nutrition. It is a Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) and must therefore be used under medical supervision.
