75 participants in 3 patient groups

Focus Group and Child Taste Test (Study 1)
No Intervention group
Description:
No intervention is administered. Adult caregivers will participate in a focus group to assess feasibility of a controlled feeding study in children and children will complete a taste-test of a controlled feeding study menu.
Study-provided food (Study 2)
Experimental group
Description:
Participants will be provided all meals for a 7-day period. For the other 7-days of their enrollment, they will be asked to consume their usual diet.
Treatment:
Other: Diet modification
