title: [Dissociation behavior of peptide diets].
abstract: The solution stability of different diets (Peptisorb, Salvipeptid, Survimed and Survimed neutral) was investigated. All diets exert a more or less cream formation. Additionally in some of them one can observe the sedimentation of particulates. When these diets were pumped out of the nutrient bag, as usually done in clinical practice during enteral nutrition, some of them produce an effluent, which contains a high portion of sedimenting particulates at the beginning of the infusion. All of them show a very high colloidal portion in the last pumping fraction. The question is raised, whether these phenomena may lead to an osmotic burden of the bowel, thus in consequence, causing the often observed diarrhoea in tube fed patients.
