Title: MANY PEDIATRIC PATIENTS WITH GASTROPARESIS DO NOT RECEIVE
DIETARY EDUCATION
Version: 3 Date: 19 Nov 2022
Reviewer's report:
The article is well written and outlines the importance issue of suboptimal gastroparesis dietary
education for children and their families.
Two main comments should be addressed:
1. Line 174-176 outlines the percentage delay in gastric emptying. What is that delay referring
to? Is that percentage based upon gastric emptying assessed at a particular time point?
2. The study notes that patients receiving partial tube feeding were less likely to receive
dietary education. This could be because the patients were already managed by dietitians in the
community with respect to their enteral feeding. Is their any data that can be found e.g. from
their medical records to show that they are looked after by dietitians in the community? This is
an important point because it would otherwise imply that those children on enteral feeding (and
their families) are not being provided dietary education which would be an unusual situation
