Description/Abstract The recognition of potentially noxious physiologic substances in the intestinal milieu prompted the use of an elemental semihydrolyzed formula diet in the prophylaxis of experimental acute ischemic enteropathy.^Elemental diets have been used in the management of a variety of digestive diseases.^An elemental diet protects the intestinal mucosa of rodents from radiation injury and facilitates mucosal healing.^Clinical trials have shown the benefits of this form of treatment in the prevention of acute radiation enteropathy and in the therapy for delayed radiation enteropathy and Crohn`s disease.90 references.
