Serum gastrin concentrations in infants with short gut syndrome.
Seven babies with 100 cm or less remaining small bowel have been evaluated for evidence of gastric hyperacidity and/or hypergastrinemia. Two babies were also studied after feeding. No patient demonstrated hyperacidity or hypergastrinemia. This infant data is discussed in regards to reported contradictory data in adult studies.
