Abstract
The experience of Nalin et al. and Patra et al. with a "super oral rehydration solution (ORS)" containing glucose plus glycine to enhance the intestinal absorption of sodium and water prompted us to investigate a similar ORS containing the standard World Health Organization (WHO/ORS) plus either 55 or 110 mmol/L glycine in infants and small children with noncholera diarrhea. We did not find a statistically significant difference between the glycine-fortified ORS and the standard WHO/ORS with respect to the clinical outcome and composition of serum electrolytes.
