PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject food, capable of preventing emesis by ingesting a liquid diet and suitable for even tube administration by using a low-methoxyl pectin solution. SOLUTION: This food is composed of a low-methoxyl pectin (hereinafter referred to as LM pectin). A citrus pectin, e.g. a lemon or an orange and an apple pectrin are cited as the LM pectin. The concentration of the LM pectin is preferably <=12 wt./vol.%. The LM pectin is preferably used in an amount of >=6 g based on 100 kcal liquid diet. When the liquid diet with a low calcium content is used, an LM pectin solution and a calcium solution which are separately packaged as a pair are preferably used as a preventing food for the emesis. The concentration of the calcium solution is preferably regulated so as to provide 10-50 mg calcium, based on 1 g LM pectin and expressed in terms of the solid content. Calcium chloride, calcium lactate, etc., are preferred as the calcium. |
