Description
Summary:Soy fiber has been shown to reduce the duration of watery stools during acute diarrhea caused by bacterial and viral pathogens in underdeveloped countries. A randomized blinded clinical trial was conducted with middle-class American children to assess the efficacy of soy fiber-supplemented infant formula. Stool characteristics, intake, and weight were recorded. Infants 6 months of age (n=44) fed soy fiber-supplemented formula (Isomil DF) had a signficantly shorter estimated median duration of diarrhea (9.7 hours vs. 23.1 hours) than those fed soy formula symptoms in U.S. infants more than 6 months of age with acute diarrhea
