[Results of a multicenter study on tolerance of a semi-elemental diet administered enterally].
An important aim of our study was to prove the effectiveness and tolerance of a semi-elemental diet (Tipeptid) infused continuously through a nasogastric feeding tube for 8 days. 383 patients entered the study. This study shows a positive nitrogen balance for 57.6 p. cent of the patients. Tolerance is good, however, incidence of diarrhoea is only 12 p. cent per treatment day among patients without digestive disease and 20 p. cent in the opposite case.
