Summary
This study evaluates whether adding a dietary supplement similar to coconut oil (MCT oil) to
feedings in premature infants will reduce the amount of yeast (Candida) detectable in their
stool. Infants who have Candida in their stool are eligible to participate. Half of the
enrolled infants will have additional MCT oil added to their feedings and half will not.
