This review paper concludes that:
"Definitive recommendations regarding the role of enteral nutrition for stress ulcer prophylaxis are not possible due to the lack of prospective, randomized studies. Therefore, the use of enteral nutrition as the only therapeutic agent for stress ulcer prophylaxis should be discouraged until definitive data are available. Initiation and discontinuation of pharmacologic stress ulcer prophylaxis should be independent of enteral nutrition."
