Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for the treatment and prevention of diarrhea comprising administering to humans a sugar selected from the group consisting of a caramel composition comprising a high content of fructose oligosaccharides, termed sucrose thermal oligosaccharides (STO), a composition comprising sucrose thermal kestoses, and fructoglucan polymers. The sugars are a natural product and greatly speed recovery from diarrhea and reduce the recurrence of diarrhea.
