About this study

Official title: Tolerability of an Amino Acid-based Oral Rehydration Solution in Children With Short Bowel Syndrome

This study will assess the tolerability and palatability of an amino acid based oral rehydration solution (enterade®) compared to current oral rehydration solution among children with short bowel syndrome .

Read the detailed description

Patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) have a critical reduction of the gut mass/function that is below the minimum needed to absorb nutrients and fluids required for adequate homeostasis. There are limited data regarding the optimal choice for oral rehydration in the setting of SBS that can maximize fluid absorption in the setting of diarrhea with limited intestinal absorptive surface area. The investigators propose a preliminary open label single center study assessing tolerability and palatability of enterade® ( an amino acid (AA) based oral rehydrating solution (ORS)) and compare to baseline. Eligible patients with SBS will participate in a 14-day trial monitoring and measuring tolerability and palatability of an AA-ORS, enterade®, in addition to their regular diet.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Average Stool Output Difference (First Week v. Second Week) for Patients With Ostomy

    Ostomy output measured as milliliters per day. The mean of outputs where compared between week 1(day 1-7) and week 2 (day 8-14). The difference (of the means) between weeks were reported.

    Measured: Total study duration14 days

  2. Average Stool Output Difference (First Week v. Second Week) for Patients in Intestinal Continuity

    Output was measured as frequency of stools per day. The mean output was compared between week 1(day 1-7) and week 2 (day 8-14). The difference (of the means) between weeks were reported.

    Measured: Total study duration 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tolerance: Reported Episodes of Abdominal Distension and Emesis

    Number of episodes reported of abdominal distension and emesis during study period

    Measured: 14 days
