Excerpt from The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 179: Official Organ of the Massachusetts Medical Society and of the New England Surgical Society, July-December, 1918 Principles of Feeding. Inasmuch as the con dition that we are dealing with is a fermenta tion of sugar, the chief principle to bear in mind is to feed a low percentage of sugar. Since there is often a secondary fermentation of fat, it is usually desirable to reduce some what the fat in the food offered. A high pro tein in an easily assimilable form in combina tion with a low sugar and a fairly low fat gives us a food which will stop excessive fermenta tion by withdrawing the fermentable sub stance, and also by tending to produce an alka line intestine instead of an acid one. An alka line intestine containing little sugar also favors the formation of solid soapy stools, a condition which is desirable, as in this way the diarrhea is controlled. Small amounts of food should be offered at first as the food tolerance for every element is much lowered. Details of Feeding. Any milk modification which is put together on these principles is a suitable food upon which to feed cases of sugar fermentation. The exact method to be used will vary somewhat according to whether the baby is to be fed on a home modification or from a milk laboratory.
