Disclosed are methods of reducing the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis in an infant, toddler, or child using nutritional compositions including human milk oligosaccharides. The nutritional compositions including the human milk oligosaccharides are effective in reducing inflammation and the incidence of inflammatory diseases.

Methods for decreasing the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis in infants, toddlers, or children using human milk oligosaccharides

Disclosed are nutritional compositions including galactooligosaccharides that can be administered to individuals including preterm infants, infants, toddlers, children, and adults for preventing injury and/or improving the healing of the gastrointestinal tract. Additional suitable methods of using the nutritional compositions including the galactooligosaccharides are also disclosed.

Galactooligosaccharides for preventing injury and/or promoting healing of the gastrointestinal tract

Disclosed are nutritional compositions including human milk oligosaccharides that can be administered to individuals including preterm infants, infants, toddlers, and children for improving gastrointestinal function and tolerance, as well as the growth of beneficial bacteria. Additional suitable methods of using the nutritional compositions including the human milk oligosaccharides are also disclosed.

Human milk oligosaccharides to promote growth of beneficial bacteria

A nutritional composition for use in providing a neuroprotective effect to an individual in need thereof which nutritional composition comprises at least one human milk oligosaccharide selected from lacto-N-neotetraose and 2'-fucosyllactose.

Nutritional compositions comprising neuroprotective dietary oligosaccharides

A nutritional composition comprising at least one human milk oligosaccharide selected from 6' sialyllactose, lacto-N-neotetraose, lacto-N-tetraose, disialylated lacto-N-tetraose, 3&#x2032;-fucosyllactose, and 3&#x2032;-sialyllactose. The nutritional composition is used in a method of reducing stress in an individual in need thereof.

Human milk oligosaccharides to ameliorate symptoms of stress

The general inventive concepts are directed to compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of dehydration. Provided herein are nutritional compositions including oral rehydration compositions. Certain embodiments of the nutritional compositions have an acidic pH, and comprise a digestible carbohydrate, sodium, citrate, and an oligosaccharide selected from a fucosylated oligosaccharide and an N-acetylated oligosaccharide.
