Conclusion
diarrhea, gastrointestinal symptoms burping, flatulence, abdominal distention
Exclusively formula-fed infants, using different commercially available formulae, were compared in this study. Although only healthy subjects were included, differences in stool characteristics and gastrointestinal symptoms were observed. Despite the fact that assessed outcomes are multifactorial, variations may potentially be explained by the different compositions and processing conditions of the formulae. Interestingly, fecal calprotectin correlated with the severity of the gastrointestinal symptoms burping, flatulence, abdominal distention, and diarrhea which may be a subject for further studies.
