Oral feeding administering a balanced synthetic diet (defined diet, space diet) is increasingly used in clinical practice. the influence of this completely ballast-free and total absorbable diet on the function of the small gut ist nearly unknown. By means of the modified D-xylose-test a reduction of the D-xylose resorption could be stated. The degree of this reduction is without clinical importance.
