OBJECTIVE
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate efficacy and safety of a mixture of non-digestible carbohydrates (NDC) as an adjunct to oral rehydration therapy in treatment of acute infectious diarrhea in children with mild to moderate dehydration.
METHODS

Twenty three infants with acute or protracted diarrhea were investigated for carbohydrate (CHO) malabsorption during their normal feeding schedules. All infants were fed a chicken-meat formula which contained rice flour and maltodextrin. End-tidal respiratory H2 concentrations were sequentially
Duodenal microflora was studied in three groups of malnourished infants: I) 10 cases with acute diarrhea; II) six carbohydrate intolerant infants; III) eight cases with cow's milk protein intolerance. In all of them it was observed linear increases of overgrowing flora, with a greater incidence of
We carried out a double-blind, randomized study in 60 children with acute diarrhea to determine their capacity to tolerate commonly consumed fruit juices. Feedings of juice with high fructose/glucose ratios and sorbitol resulted in incomplete carbohydrate absorption and recurrence of diarrhea during
The effects of carbohydrate intake on jejunal disaccharidases in rats with chronic mannitol-induced, osmotic diarrhea were studied. Weanling rats were force-fed 5 ml/100 g of body weight of water of 20% mannitol (w/v 1300 mOsm) daily for up to 14 days. Diets containing 70% of either starch, sucrose,
In this paper, we analyze the factors involved in the precocious increase of sucrase activity evoked by the early feeding of sucrose in suckling rats, and particularly, the role of diarrhea and stress in this phenomenon. Ten-day-old rats were removed from their mothers and gavage fed for 4 days at
The mechanisms of carbohydrate-induced diarrhea in suckling rats were investigated with respect to osmolality and type of sugar in the milk. Groups of 12-day-old rats were gavage fed either a basic low carbohydrate milk formula [10.8% fat; 8% protein; 1.4% carbohydrate (weight/volume)] or basic
Lactose intolerance and malabsorbed carbohydrate present in some fruitjuice may trigger symptoms commonly seen in irritable bowel syndrome. In a two-site study, 28 subjects 9 months to 18 years old (mean 6.9 +/- 5.9 years) with significant intake of apple juice or pear nectar (> 6 oz a day) with the
Children with chronic diarrhea were examined for their carbohydrate tolerance, small bowel morphology, and specific disaccharidase activities to determine whether disaccharidase enzymatic activity is related to villus height and thus may be viewed as an independent variable that controls digestive
Until recently, information concerning carbohydrate intolerance complicating acute infantile diarrhea of outpatients in Thailand has been lacking. This prospective study was undertaken to determine the incidence and risk factors of secondary carbohydrate intolerance in outpatients. Of 197
A group of 245 well nourished infants with acute diarrhea were screened for carbohydrate malabsorption by evaluating stool pH and reducing substances in the stools. Carbohydrate malabsorption was diagnosed in 28 cases (11%). Clinical features of carbohydrate intolerance were present in only one
We studied a group of patients with rotavirus diarrhea to determine the association of carbohydrate malabsorption during diarrhea with the degree of acidosis and severity of purging. Unlike enterotoxigenic diarrhea in which the metabolic acidosis is due to loss of bicarbonate in an alkaline stool,
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of infant formula and the same formula subjected to microbial fermentation (yogurt) on the duration of diarrhea in young children with acute watery diarrhea, with or without reducing substances in stools.
METHODS
One hundred twelve
46 of 74 children with chronic diarrhea of unknown etiology between the ages of 44-627 days were studies. They were assigned, by single randomization, to 3 dietary treatments: a) cow's milk, b) a sucrose- free (SED-S), and c) a sucrose containiNG semi-element diet (SED+S), for 15 days. The authors
To determine how the carbohydrate (CHO) content of "semielemental" formulas affects tolerance and macronutrient absorption, we enrolled 12 infants with severe diarrhea in two successive metabolic balance studies. The infants received, in random order, one of two isocaloric formulas that differed
