Concentrated nutrition for diarrhea in young children. B. Balaban (Pediatrics, 1927, No. 1)

In view of the fact that the diet hitherto used in young children for diarrheal diseases is not complete because of the lack of fat and leads to exhaustion when used for a long time, B. Balaban on the basis of the work of Czerny, Moro and Kleinschmidt indicating that fat administered in the right proportions and in the appropriate form is also tolerated by the labile intestine, performed a series of experiments using Czerny and Moro mixtures for diarrhea. A total of 40 cases were carried out by him, the central group of observations being diarrhea in dystrophics.
