Homeopathic globules are frequently used in children as a first-line treatment. Most of these globules are coated with sugar substitutes like xylitol; these substitutes are known for their laxative effect. Our patient shows that consumption of globules coated with xylitol does not have only laxative effects. It may cause indeed considerable weight loss and life-threatening enteral bicarbonate loss by diarrhea when overdosed in an infant.
顺势疗法球经常被用于儿童作为一线治疗。这些球中的大多数都涂有木糖醇等糖替代品;这些替代品以其通便作用而闻名。我们的患者表明,涂有木糖醇的球的消耗不仅具有通便作用。当婴儿过量服用时,它确实可能通过腹泻导致相当大的体重减轻和危及生命的碳酸氢盐损失。
