Efficacy of bowel preparation with the use of a prepackaged, low fibre Diet with a low sodium, magnesium citrate cathartic vs. a clear Liquid Diet with a standard sodium phosphate cathartic.
Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2005Co-Authors: Mark H. Delegge, R. KaplanAbstract:Summary Background : A colon free of faecal residue is required for accurate diagnostic colonoscopy. Patient tolerance of his/her colonoscopy cathartic regimen affects patient compliance and willingness to undergo repeated examinations. Aim : To determine whether a meal could be consumed during standard bowel preparation. Methods : This was a randomized, endoscopists’ blinded comparison of the tolerability and efficacy of a prepackaged, low-residue Diet (NutraPrep) combined with the LoSo Prep bowel cleansing system, which contains magnesium citrate, bisocodyl tablets and a bisocodyl suppository (NP-LS regimen), compared with a clear Liquid Diet and a double-dose sodium phosphate (Fleet Phospho-soda) regimen (2F regimen). Outcome measures included efficacy of bowel preparation, patient preparation tolerability, side-effects and patient safety. Results : A total of 506 patients completed the study, 222 randomized to 2F and 284 to NP-LS. The NP-LS regimen resulted in significantly better colon cleansing in terms of the proportion with good or excellent results (P = 0.025) and in significantly better patient tolerance and willingness to repeat the cathartic preparation (P

the effect of a low carbohydrate high monounsaturated fatty acid Liquid Diet and an isoleucine containing Liquid Diet on 24 h glycemic variability in diabetes patients on tube feeding a comparison by continuous glucose monitoring
Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics, 2012Co-Authors: Yutaka Mori, Teruo Ohta, Junichi Yokoyama, Masatsugu Shiozaki, Kazunori UtsunomiyaAbstract:Abstract Objective: This study compare the effect of various Liquid Diets on 24-h glycemic variability in diabetes patients on tube feeding. Patients and Methods: The study included type 2 diabetes patients in whom percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy had been performed for dysphagia as a sequela of cerebrovascular disease and who had been put on tube feeding with a standard high-carbohydrate Liquid Diet (HCD). Once stable glycemic control was achieved, these patients were continuously monitored for glucose levels for 5 days on continuous glucose monitoring. Of the 14 patients included, seven were given HCD on day 1, a low-carbohydrate/high-monounsaturated fatty acid Liquid Diet (LCD) on Days 2 and 3, and a isoleucine-containing Liquid Diet (ICD), which is known to promote glycemic uptake by skeletal muscle, thus suppressing increases in glucose levels, on Days 4 and 5, with the remaining seven given the same Diets but ICD given on Days 2 and 3 and LCD given on Days 4 and 5. All comparisons were made under...

clinical trial oral feeding with a soft Diet compared with clear Liquid Diet as initial meal in mild acute pancreatitis
Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2008Co-Authors: E. Sathiaraj, M. J. Mansard, S. Mahukar, S S Murthy, G V Rao, D. N. ReddyAbstract:Summary Background In mild acute pancreatitis, traditional treatment has been initial fasting and oral refeeding with clear Liquids to prevent adverse gastrointestinal events such as pain. The Diet is gradually progressed to soft solids and hospital discharge is planned based on patients’ tolerance to a solid Diet. Aim To determine the length of hospitalization and tolerance to oral refeeding when initiated on a soft Diet as compared to a clear Liquid Diet. Methods One hundred and one patients with mild acute pancreatitis were randomized to receive either a clear Liquid Diet or soft Diet when oral feeding was initiated. Frequency of pain, total and postrefeeding length of hospitalization, and Dietary intake were monitored. Hospital discharge was decided by the medical team without input from the study coordinators. Results A statistically significant decrease in the length of hospitalization (total and postrefeeding) of a median of 2 days was seen in patients receiving a soft Diet (P < 0.001). No significant difference in the need for cessation of Diet because of pain was observed between the two groups. Patients initiated on a soft Diet consumed significantly more calories and fats on study day 1 (P < 0.001). Conclusion Oral refeeding with a soft Diet in patients with mild acute pancreatitis can be considered safe and can result in shorter length of hospitalization.

The clear Liquid Diet: when is it appropriate?
Current gastroenterology reports, 2002Co-Authors: Susan M. Hancock, Gail Cresci, Robert G. MartindaleAbstract:Closer attention to the clear Liquid Diet and its therapeutic applications has been prompted by critical reviews of nutritional enhancement in the clinical environment. The aim of ongoing research has been to uncover the optimal nutrient complement in various patient groups as well as the most beneficial mode of nutrient delivery. Route of feeding is often the essential determinant in effectiveness of nutritional support. Many studies have sought to demonstrate the superiority of enteral versus parenteral nutrition, whereas comparative studies with clear Liquid Diets are sparse. Recently, identification of key nutrients in the support of malnourished or immunocompromised patients has been emphasized. Although total parenteral nutrition has undisputed applications in specific patient groups, it has lost favor for general application because of its negative impact on immunocompetence. Efforts have thus been redoubled to explore the potential of the gastrointestinal tract, with the derived benefit in immunosupport for many medical and surgical disease states. Until recently, the clear Liquid Diet had not received close scrutiny and had retained an unchallenged position in certain applications (eg, bowel preparation). This paper summarizes the published, theorized, and potential benefits as well as the limitations of the clear Liquid Diet.
