dc.description.abstractGlucose-based or rice-based ORS is the standard treatment in acute dehydrating diarrhoea. However, glucose may not be easily available in remote villages and the rice needs to be cooked for rice-based ORS. We embarked on a study to examine whether uncooked rice powder could be used as an alternative to glucose or cooked rice powder in ORS. Initially, 50 adult male patients (aged 18 to 55 yr) were randomized to receive glucose-ORS or uncooked rice ORS, in two equal groups. Subsequently, 20 male children (aged 3 to 12 yr) were also enrolled in the study and received either WHO-ORS or study ORS. All the adult patients and the children could be successfully rehydrated with ORS containing uncooked rice powder. As compared to WHO-ORS, the study ORS significantly reduced stool output (6.60 +/- 1.24 vs. 5.88 +/- 1.34 l), ORS intake (9.17 +/- 1.54 vs 8.24 +/- 1.69 l) and duration of diarrhoea (45.68 +/- 6.91 vs 41.32 +/- 6.03 h). In children also similar results were obtained. No clinical complication (e.g., vomiting, abdominal pain etc.) or abnormality in serum electrolyte concentrations was encountered either in the adults or in the children. Uncooked rice powder containing ORS can be considered as an alternative to glucose-based ORS or rice-based ORS.en_US
