Abstract: | A casein and a whey hyrolysate were evaluated in the management of 18 children with cow's-milk-sensitive enteropathy. This diagnosis was based upon clinical features, an abnormal small intestinal mucosa, i.e. an enteropathy, and a clinical response to cow's milk elimination. Two infants refused to take the whey hydrolysate. The median weight gain was higher in children given whey hydrolysate (19.4 g/day) than the casein hydrolysate (9.8 g/day). All children responded to cow's milk elimination and most has a significant improvement in small intestinal morphology after a cow's-milk-free diet. There was some advantage for the whey hydrolysate on morphometric analysis of their small intestinal mucosal response. |
