ABSTRACT

Introduction. The aim of this work was to determine the fecal output in a group of 14 children with short bowel.
Material and methods. Fecal output (FO) was measured and registered daily in a specially designed sheet and expressed as g/kg of weight per day. Fecal output was measured during a clinical stability period defined as 7 days without infection, absent or minimal reducing substances and no metabolic or hydro electrolytic abnormalities.
Results. Age varied from one to 55 months with a median of 3 months.The median FO was 31.5 g/kg/day in a 98 period of clinical stability. Median FO was 11.86 ± 13.48 g/kg/day in patients under total parenteral nutrition (TPN) 38.18 ± 14.34 g/kg/day in children receiving TPN plus semielemental formula, 33.04 ± 14.81 in TPN plus elemental formula, and 22.62 ± 8.9 g/kg/day in those receiving TPN plus a chicken based formula.
Conclusions. The median FO was 31.5 g/kg/day and TPN plus chicken based formula appeared to be the most effective dietary combination.
