To evaluate gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and breath hydrogen responses to oral fructose-sorbitol (F-S) and glucose challenges in eating disorder (ED) patients.
GI symptoms and hydrogen breath concentration were monitored in 26 female ED inpatients for 3 h, following ingestion of 50 g glucose on one day, and 25 g fructose/5 g sorbitol on the next day, after an overnight fast on each occasion. Responses to F-S were compared to those of 20 asymptomatic healthy females.
F-S provoked GI symptoms in 15 ED patients and one healthy control (P<0.05 ED vs control). Only one ED patient displayed symptom provocation to glucose (P<0.01 vs F-S response). A greater symptom response was observed in ED patients with a body mass index (BMI)<or=17.5 kg/m2 compared to those with a BMI>17.5 kg/m2 (P<0.01). There were no differences in psychological scores, prevalence of functional GI disorders or breath hydrogen responses between patients with and without an F-S response.
F-S, but not glucose, provokes GI symptoms in ED patients, predominantly those with low BMI. These findings are important in the dietary management of ED patients.
评估饮食失调(ED)患者口服果糖-山梨醇(F-S)和葡萄糖后胃肠道(GI)症状和呼气氢反应。
26 名女性 ED 住院患者在禁食过夜后,每天分别摄入 50 g 葡萄糖和 25 g 果糖/5 g 山梨醇,在接下来的 3 小时内监测 GI 症状和氢呼气浓度。将 F-S 的反应与 20 名无症状健康女性的反应进行比较。
F-S 引起 15 名 ED 患者和 1 名健康对照者出现 GI 症状(P<0.05 ED 与对照组)。只有 1 名 ED 患者对葡萄糖表现出症状诱发(P<0.01 与 F-S 反应相比)。与 BMI>17.5 kg/m2 的患者相比,BMI<or=17.5 kg/m2 的 ED 患者出现更大的症状反应(P<0.01)。在有和没有 F-S 反应的患者之间,心理评分、功能性 GI 障碍的患病率或呼气氢反应没有差异。
F-S 而不是葡萄糖,会引起 ED 患者的 GI 症状,主要是 BMI 较低的患者。这些发现对 ED 患者的饮食管理很重要。
