Abstract
The dietary management of a child with intestinal lymphangiectasia complicated by short gut syndrome following surgery at the age of 3 weeks is described. Diets containing amino acids and peptides were not tolerated due to high osmolality. Satisfactory nutrition was achieved by using a feed with low osmolality and containing whole whey protein, maltodextrin, medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) and a small amount of long-chain triglycerides (LCT) to supply essential fatty acids (RD231).
