Acidophilus May Aid Patients with Small-Bowel Obstruction
Summary
Research by the National Taiwan University Hospital and College of Medicine suggests that patients with partial bowel obstruction could benefit from taking laxatives, acidophilus, and simethicone orally.Article
A study conducted by the National Taiwan University Hospital and College of Medicine in Taipei found that oral administration of laxatives, acidophilus, and simethicone may help improve conditions for patients with partial bowel obstructions.Traditionally, specialists manage patients with partial adhesive small-bowel obstruction conservatively, using intravenous hydration and restricting oral intake. Dr. Shyr-Chyr Chen and colleagues note that previous studies link this approach to longer hospital stays and a higher risk of delayed surgery.
The study included 144 patients with adhesive partial small-bowel obstruction, admitted between February 2000 and July 2001. Of these, 128 met the criteria and were split into two groups. The intervention group received IV hydration, nasogastric (NG) tube decompression, along with oral magnesium oxide, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and simethicone. The control group received only IV hydration and NG-tube decompression, with nothing by mouth.
Most participants were men, with average ages of 54.4 years in the control group and 53.9 years in the intervention group. Results showed that 91% of the intervention group and 76% of the control group improved without surgery.
The study concluded that oral therapy with magnesium oxide, acidophilus, and simethicone effectively sped up recovery and reduced hospital stays for patients with conservatively treated partial small-bowel obstructions. The researchers suggest further trials with larger patient samples to confirm these findings.
