Abstract:
The palatability of three bulk additives was studied in volunteers under 40 and over 60 years of age. Women highly significantly preferred Normaeol Special® (Norgine) to Fybogel® (Reckitt & Colman) and Celevac Granules® (W.B.P.). On both preference and palatability score Normacol Special was significantly preferred to Celevac Granules, as it was in the under 40's on palatability; score and in the over 60's on preference, but in the latter, sex may have accounted for the difference observed. Volunteers under the age of 40 gave Celevac a significantly higher palatability score than Fybogel; the reverse occurred in the over 60's. These results have therapeutic implications in patients with different gastrointestinal disorders.
