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
Rice gruels have been used as home remedies to treat dehydration associated with diarrheal illness in developing countries. These preparations have produced conflicting results, most likely due to the heterogeneity of starch used. We investigated whether the modified tapioca starch, Textra (TX), at
BACKGROUND
Reduction of gross diarrhea rate in excess of that seen over time with intravenous therapy and appropriate antibiotics is not usually achieved by oral glucose-electrolyte rehydration therapy for cholera and cholera-like diarrheas.
RESULTS
This prospective randomized clinical trial at a
BACKGROUND
Oral rehydration solution (ORS) for treatment of diarrhea relies on enhancement of small intestinal sodium and fluid absorption to correct dehydration. Amylase-resistant starch added to ORS significantly reduced the duration and severity of diarrhea in adults with cholera, presumably by
Diarrheal diseases continue to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although new, potentially useful drugs such as acetorphan are appearing at the horizon, the cornerstone of treatment remains a proper oral rehydration (ORT). Yet, the rates at which ORT is used are still
OBJECTIVE
F4 fimbriae are a potential candidate for an oral subunit vaccine for prevention of post-weaning diarrhea in swine due to infection with F4-positive enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. However, large quantities of F4 fimbriae are required to induce a specific antibody response. The aim of
We investigated the diet content and properties of blood and milk in 11 pairs of Japanese Black cows and their calves for the one month following delivery. Four pairs (group A) had been no cases of white diarrhea during the year prior to this study, and 7 pairs (group B) had been a high occurrence
To determine the prevalence of short polymers of glucose and starch malabsorption caused by small intestinal glucoamylase deficiency in children with chronic diarrhea, we studied small bowel biopsy specimens from 511 children (aged 1 month to 9 years) with chronic diarrhea evaluated at 54 medical
OBJECTIVE
The commensal bacterial flora of the colon may undergo changes during diarrhea, owing to colonization of the intestine by pathogens and to rapid intestinal transit. This study used molecular methods to determine changes in the composition of selected commensal anaerobic bacteria during and
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection results in fluid and electrolyte losses in the small intestine. We investigated the effect of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) hydrolysis products of wheat middlings (WM) and flaxseed (FS) on net absorption of fluid and solutes during ETEC challenge.
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.

Pulsatilla decoction (PD) is a classical prescription in traditional Chinese medicine that has therapeutic effects on wetness-heat-induced diarrhea (WHD). To investigate the therapeutic effects of PD in the treatment of WHD and elucidate the potential mechanism, we used a metabolomics strategy on
As acute diarrhoea gives rise to a loss of water and electrolytes, the most effective therapy results the oral rehydration. Harrison and Darrow tried this way first. Only in the years '60 we began to use oral rehydration commonly. Usually, solutions contain glucose, Na, K, Cl, Bicarbonate in various
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two oral rehydration techniques.
METHODS
A randomized clinical trial was conducted at the oral rehydration unit of Hospital Infantil de Mexico "Federico Gomez", between September 1998 and June 1999. Forty patients five-year old and younger
To study the intracolonic digestion of starch, 5 healthy volunteers were maintained on a constant diet for 7 days. On the fourth day, the cecum was intubated and a suspension of raw wheat starch (50 g, in 500 ml of 154 mM NaCl and containing 10 g of polyethylene glycol 4000) was infused into the
