A Lack of Therapeutic Response to Kaolin in Acute Childhood Diarrhoea Treated with Glucose Electrolyte Solution

M. WATKINSON, M.R.C.P. (U.K.)

Medical Research Council Dunn Nutrition Unit Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 IXJ and Keneba Laboratories, The Gambia

The addition of kaolin to the therapeutic regime of West African village children whose diarrhoea was being treated with GES did not shorten the diarrhoeal attacks, nor reduce their severity, nor did it alter their weight changes across an attack of diarrhoea.

Compliance with prescribed doses was poor.

In both control and kaolin treated groups, a high proportion of children lost weight before treatment was started.
