Abstract

Oral rehydration fluids (ORS) are used to reverse dehydration that, in case of children, mostly is due to acute gastroenteritis. The key of successful dehydration treatment is to replenish the lost water and electrolytes. This is best done by consuming oral rehydration solution, containing both salt and sugar. ORS enhances ﬂuid absorption because sodium and glucose transport in the small intestine are coupled, and glucose promotes absorption of both sodium ions and water. Studies show that children refuse ORS due to its salty-sweet taste and unpalatability. To improve oral rehydration therapy, we hypothesized that freezing ORS containing a fruit/berry juice to a likeable texture in “gelato” form could promote oral rehydration. The results provide a basis for further development of the ORS gelato with attention to flavor, sweetness and texture.

Frozen oral hydration as an alternative to conventional enteral fluids.

Children with mild or moderate dehydration are more likely to tolerate frozen oral hydration (FS) than conventional glucose electrolyte solution (CS), with greater tolerance rates when FS is crossed over to CS.

The mechanisms of sodium absorption in the human small intestine.

Sodium absorption in the human small intestine is mainly mediated by bulk flow of solution along osmotic pressure gradients, with a small fraction mediated by active transport coupled to bicarbonate or hydrogen ions.
