Initially the patient's condition was managed with a high calorie, low-fat diet enriched with medium chain triglycerides MONOGEN® for 20 days. Because little changed in response to this treatment, it was decided to change diet to a formula consisting exclusively of medium chain triglycerides. After 15 days paraclinical and clinical indications showed a positive response characterized by a reduction in the number of stools to only one or two per day. Stools also became well formed. Patient gained approximately 30 grams of weight every day. Serum albumin increased to 3g/dL.
