Comparison of Different Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) in Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) Patients on Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN): A Prospective Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Trial.

Compliance is the biggest challenge in patients with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) on Home
Parenteral Nutrition. These patients need to hydrate themselves to meet the excess fluid
loss due to their anatomy. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is prescribed to all these

mind. The investigators want to study if this new ORS will improve the compliance in this
patient cohort.
