The effect of a pectin-supplemented diet in short gut syndrome was investigated in a 3-year-old boy. Nitrogen absorption was higher and stomach-to-anus transit time was prolonged during pectin supplementation of the enteral feed. Pectin supplementation had no adverse effects on electrolyte balance or glucose absorption. These data indicate that pectin supplementation of enteral feed may enhance nitrogen absorption and seems not to adversely affect absorption in short gut syndrome.
