As many as 56 patients with chronic enteritis in different stages aged 19-55 years were studied for myoelectrical activity of the intestines before treatment, following a single ingestion of pastes, and at the end of the course, intestinal absorptive function, and condition of the microflora. Combined treatment involving the use of pectin-containing apple paste in patients with chronic enteritis has a positive effect on the basic pathogenetic links of the disorder, which fact permits avoiding polypragmasy, undesirable medicinal preparations-associated complications, allergic reactions.
