Abstract

Chronic diarrhea is a common and difficult disease in kids, and also a main cause of malnutition, rickets, and anemia. According to data stipulated by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002, diarrhea occupied 13.2% of children's fatal diseases and 50% of the cases were chronic diarrhea. Although there are numerous clinical studies on diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome and a few laboratory studies on the effect of food ingredients on gastrointestinal function, gastrointestinal allergy induced by food proteins is difficult to describe. So far, we don't have sufficient clinical studies about kid's chronic diarrhea caused by food intolerance, not to mention the randomized controlled trials. Meanwhile, we find that umbilicus therapy with Chinese medicine is easy to operate and easier to be accepted by children compared with oral administrations and vascular injection; furthermore, kids' skin has better penetration and absorption, and thus the medicine can quickly enter blood circulation and acts efficiently. We studied 80 cases by following the principle of multicenter randomized controlled trial design to primarily evaluate the treatment result.
