Acetylated distarch phosphate (ADiSP) is a modified starch used in some baby foods. The bioavailability of ADiSP and a native (unmodified) starch was evaluated in 20 normal infants and 21 toddlers aged 8-24 mo with chronic non-specific diarrhea. Formulae contained 8% native or 8% modified waxy maize
OBJECTIVE
To study the possible causes of sorbitol (S)-based diarrhea and its mechanism of reduction by rice gruel (RG) in cecectomized rats.
METHODS
S was dissolved either in distilled water or in RG (50 g/L) and ingested as a single oral dose (1.2 g/kg body mass, containing 0.5 g/L phenol red as a
Diabetics often consume dietetic foods with sorbitol as the sweetener. Sorbitol, in amounts as little as 10 g. may produce diarrhea in healthy individuals. Sorbitol intolerance was studied in 12 diabetics and 23 nondiabetics. Similar numbers of diabetics (n = 10, 83.3%) and nondiabetics (n = 18,
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of olestra and sorbitol consumption on three accepted objective measures of diarrhea (stool output >250 g/day, liquid/watery stools, bowel movement frequency >3/day), and how stool composition influences reports of common gastrointestinal symptoms.
A case of severe diarrhea with devastating effects in a young patient with a head injury is reported. The cause was found to be sorbitol used as an inactive ingredient in a commonly prescribed medication. Sorbitol is present in many prescription and over-the-counter medications and should be
When a patient with severe diarrhea and flatulence is afebrile and the results of physical examination are negative, a food source should be suspected as the cause of the problem. Careful scrutiny of the patient's diet and a high index of suspicion may implicate the artificial sweetener sorbitol.
The aim of the present study was to compare the ability of four dietary polyols to reduce bone resorption. Urinary excretion of 3H radioactivity from [3H]tetracycline-prelabeled rats was used as a marker of bone resorption. After prelabeling, the rats were divided randomly into five groups of 10,
It is widely accepted that early enteral nutrition is beneficial to critically ill patients. Diarrhea is a common problem in this setting and is often erroneously ascribed to enteral feedings. More often medications cause the diarrhea. Multiple cases of severe diarrhea associated with the use of a
An unusual case of osmotic diarrhea that persisted despite fasting led to the discovery of an unexpected source of hospital-acquired diarrhea. Numerous patients were subsequently found to have onset of diarrhea shortly after the initiation of treatment with theophylline elixir. Although theophylline
Virulence and pathogenicity of an Escherichia coli O157:H7 sorbitol-positive mutant were investigated with an infant rabbit animal model as well as a battery of in vitro assays. Total cell lysate protein profiles, outer membrane protein profiles, plasmid profiles, and levels of cytotoxic activity
Between 9 October and 12 November 1996, an outbreak of bloody diarrhea occurred in the neonatal nursery ward of the Policlínico Neuquén, in Neuquén, a city in the southwestern region of Argentina. Seven patients of the intermediate care unit were affected. Isolates of Escherichia coli O18ac:H31 that
