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
Meteorism, abdominal spasms, diarrhea, casually obstipation, flatulence and nausea are symptoms of fructose malabsorption (FIT) and/or lactose intolerance (LIT), but are also symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Therefore these diseases should be considered primarily in patients with
Carbohydrate digestion/absorption was evaluated in 11 infants with intractable diarrhea while they were receiving a carbohydrate-free soy-isolate formula. Seven patients were fed within 48 h of admission. Enteral feedings were initiated in the remainder after they had gained 1 kg while receiving
Congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption (CGGM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, which presents as a protracted diarrhea in early neonatal life. We describe the clinical history, diagnostic evaluation, and management of 7 children with CGGM in western France. There were 4 girls and 3 boys
Diagnosing a cause of diarrhea is a challenging undertaking but can be accomplished if a systematic approach is used for evaluation. Pathophysiologic mechanisms of acute diarrhea (eg, Giardia lamblia infection, antibiotic use) are different from those of chronic diarrhea (eg, secretory dysfunction
Patients with chronic diarrhea should be carefully questioned about their diet. A correlation may be found between gastrointestinal symptoms and the ingestion of coffee, milk, or sugars such as sorbitol and fructose. If the offending agent can be identified and withdrawn from the diet, the diarrhea
BACKGROUND
Fructose malabsorption is characterized by the inability to absorb fructose efficiently. As a consequence fructose reaches the colon where it is broken down by bacteria to short fatty acids, CO2 and H2. Bloating, cramps, osmotic diarrhea and other symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome are
BACKGROUND
Fructose malabsorption is frequently seen in the general population and is characterised by the inability to absorb fructose efficiently. Due to fructose malabsorption, fructose reaches the colon where it is broken down by bacteria to short fatty acids, CO(2) and H(2). Bloating, cramps,
Two variations of an egg yolk agar base medium containing cycloserine, cefoxitin, and fructose (CCFA), one with 250 micrograms and other with 500 micrograms of cycloserine/ml of agar medium were compared to study the effect of the cycloserine concentration on recovery of Clostridium difficile from
Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) symptoms develop at first introduction of fruit during weaning. We report on an infant with suspected HFI who presented with repeated episodes of vomiting and hypotension after ingestion of fruit-containing meals. The first episode occurred at age 4 months.
OBJECTIVE
Celiac disease (CD) has been associated with several genetic disorders, but has not been associated with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI).
METHODS
We identified CD in 4 female patients affected by HFI from among 38 Italian HFI patients.
RESULTS
Three of these patients were children in
Clostridium difficile is the principal pathogen associated with hospital-acquired acute diarrheal disease. We have evaluated the performances of six approaches for diagnosis of C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). Consecutive stool specimens (n = 200) from 133 patients were examined by cytotoxin
