monosaccharide/diarrhea

The study in 14 patients with severe and protracted infectious gastroenteritis is reported. In all cases, intolerance to monosaccharides was present and in 13 cases, third degree malnutrition was evident. The period of evolution of the diarrhea was, as an average, 67.6 days at the moment when

E. coli can induced diarrhea either by enterotoxin production or by invasion of the colonic mucosa. Here we report a 2/12 year old infant with caute diarrhea induced by E. coli strain, isolated from the jejunal fluid, that had no enterotoxigenic activity but invaded the small intestinal mucosa and

OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of a diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) vs traditional dietary recommendations on health-related quality of life (QOL), anxiety and depression, work productivity, and sleep quality in patients with irritable bowel

FODMAP is an acronym for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. Dietary modification of FODMAPs has been shown to have significant effects on the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract and improves symptoms of abdominal pain, distention, and bloating in patients

Allitol, D-talitol and L-iditol are sugar alcohols that are rare in nature. Due to their previous rarity, little is known about the laxative effects of these rare sugar alcohols. Therefore, reliable data on the laxative effect that these sugar alcohols cause in experimental animals could help to

In a retrospective study, 9% of the admissions to Ben Taub General Hospital for diarrhea were found to have acquired monosaccharide intolerance (AMI). The course of AMI was compared with that of acute diarrheal syndrome (ADS). The patients with AMI were younger at the time of admission, and,

To determine the frequency with which acquired monosaccharide intolerance (AMI) occurs in infants less than 3 months of age, we performed a prospective descriptive study of infants admitted to the hospital for diarrhea. We searched for differences between the characteristics and causes of AMI in

Net external acid balance was studied in 12 malnourished infants with chronic diarrhea (some of whom had acquired monosaccharide intolerance). When the infants achieved an adequate energy intake from a formula that contained either glucose or glucose polymers, seven developed metabolic acidosis and

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

Acquired monosaccharide intolerance is characterized by the malabsorption of all carbohydrates, resulting in profuse acidic diarrhea. Five infants with this syndrome, ranging from two to six months of age, were studied by measuring their ability to absorb glucose given by intestinal perfusion.

We evaluated the in vitro and in vivo digestibility and clinical tolerance of three corn syrup sugars (DE10, 15, 24) and one infant formula containing corn syrup sugar as the sole carbohydrate source (DE24). In vitro studies were conducted using human duodenal fluid and jejunal mucosa with normal
