This study investigated the influence of fibre on the pattern of absorption of protein and carbohydrate following administration of polymeric enteral diet and also the effect of added fibre on frequency of bowel action, stool weight and gastrointestinal side effects during enteral nutrition. No difference was seen in frequency of bowel action, stool weight or gastrointestinal side effects in five patients fed with either a fibre free polymeric diet or with the same diet augmented with 24 g fibre/24 h. Addition of fibre did not significantly alter breath hydrogen excretion. In an oral tolerance test on six normal subjects, the post prandial rises in blood glucose and levels of 17 amino acids were similar on ingestion of a fibre containing or fibre free test meal.
