Coconut water was evaluated as a home glucose electrolyte solution for well-nourished children with mild diarrhoea. We describe the chemical composition of coconut water by type and age of coconut (Cocos nucifera). Our results suggest that young coconut water can be used, together with early refeeding, as a home glucose electrolyte oral rehydration solution in the early stages of mild diarrhoeal disease, despite not having a balanced electrolyte composition. However, it should not be used in patients with severe cholera, or in patients who are dehydrated and/or in whom renal function is impaired.
椰子水被评估作为营养良好的轻度腹泻儿童的家庭葡萄糖电解质溶液。我们按椰子（椰属）的类型和年龄描述了椰子水的化学成分。我们的结果表明，尽管椰子水的电解质成分不均衡，但在轻度腹泻病的早期阶段，年轻椰子水可与早期再喂养一起用作家庭葡萄糖电解质口服补液溶液。然而，它不应在重症霍乱患者、脱水患者和/或肾功能受损患者中使用。
