Diarrhea interrupts enteral nutrition management in hospitalized patients with severe illnesses, such as sepsis. Pectin, a water-soluble dietary fiber, has the potential to maintain intestinal function and may reduce inflammatory reactions. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the addition of low-methoxyl (LM) pectin to a liquid diet suppresses softening of stool texture and reduces tissue inflammatory responses in enteral nutrition management during sepsis. ⋯ A liquid diet containing LM pectin allows enteral nutrition management with a low risk for diarrhea and reduces local inflammation under septic conditions.
