About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Short Bowel Syndrome focused on measuring Oral Rehydration Solutions

Eligibility Criteria

1 Year - 17 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female patients with a diagnosis of short bowel syndrome (as defined by surgical therapy for congenital or acquired gastrointestinal disease) between the ages of 1-17
  • Patients who are in intestinal continuity or with diverting ileostomy, jejunostomy
  • Patients must be on a stable enteral nutrition regimen with oral rehydration fluids that are taken orally.
  • Stable GI medication regimen (e.g., loperamide, cholestyramine, small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBBO) regimen)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients receiving IV antibiotics within the previous 72h.
  • Patients with a primary diagnosis of a motility disorder (e.g., chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction) or epithelial cell disorder (e.g., microvillus inclusion disease)
  • Malnourished (as defined by Weight/Height Z-score (WHZ) <-2)

Sites / Locations

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Amino Acid-ORS arm

Arm Description

Patients consumed an amino acid based oral rehydration solution (enterade®) as part of their oral rehydration care plan. Enterade® oral rehydration solution volumes varied from patient to patient depending on baseline clinical need.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

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.
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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Tolerance: Reported Episodes of Abdominal Distension and Emesis
Number of episodes reported of abdominal distension and emesis during study period

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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 .
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.

Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
Palatability Rating of Amino Acid ORS (Enterade®) Compared to Baseline ORS
Description
Rating of enterade® taste was compared to previous "patient baseline" oral rehydration solution taste. We compared measurements using the facial hedonic method 100-mm visual analog scale (worst (0mm) and best taste(100mm)). We utilized the difference between two measurements: Day 0 (baseline ORS) and Day 14 (last study day of Amino Acid-ORS consumption). The difference was reported (Day 14 minus value at Day 0).
Time Frame
