Early feeding practices and body mass index z-score among Saudi preschoolers: a cross-sectional study

“…However, a higher percentage of mothers (73%) reported adhering to this practice in El Salvador [18]. The average duration of consuming fruit juice and date syrup-milk mixture in a baby bottle is also troubling (11.5 and 5.90 months on average, respectively), since offering sugary drinks in a baby bottle has been previously associated with overconsumption, excessive sugar intake, diarrhea and tooth decay [8,[10][11][12][13].…”

The Cut‐Off Criterion for a Positive Hydrogen Breath Test in Children

“…Because the original, closed-collection systems for H 2 breath testing (5) gave way to open, intervalsampling procedures, various cutoff criteria have been proposed to define abnormal tests. In adults ingesting aqueous solutions of lactose (51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58) or sucrose (59), a ?o20-ppm rise was found to separate complete and incomplete absorption (or intestinal disaccharidases status) as determined by alternative methods of assay. With milk as the source of lactose, and a dose of milk 5 ml/kg body weight, Caskey and co-workers (60) found that a 17-ppm rise in H 2 concentration separated lactose-tolerant and intolerant adult Native American subjects.…”

Effects of dietary FODMAP content on the faecal microbiome and gastrointestinal physiology in healthy adults: a randomised, controlled cross-over feeding study

“…There are four main areas of concern regarding the effect of FODMAP on gut and general health. First, some FODMAP (such as fructose in excess of glucose) were first described to induce diarrhoea when consumed in high amounts ( 11 ) , leading to the concept that FODMAP were ‘natural laxatives’ and their restriction may lead to constipation. Indeed, many studies targeted patients with non-constipation IBS, ( 12 , 13 ) and some reported poorer responses in patients with constipation predominance ( 14 , 15 ) .…”
