A method is provided for reducing the duration of diarrhea and recurrent episodes of diarrhea in humans by enterally administering indigestible oligosaccharides prophylactically. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method using indigestible oligosaccharides or fructooligosaccharides (FOS) to reduce the duration and recurrence of diarrhea in a human wherein between 0.5 grams and 5 grams of at least one FOS selected from the group consisting of 1-kestose, nystose, and 1F-.beta.-fructofuranosyl nystose is administered to said human per day. The indigestible oligosaccharides can be produced through enzymatic synthesis, chemical techniques or isolated from plant materials and are administered in the form of a nutritional product, candy, tablets, chewing gum, lozenges, milk, yogurts, fermented products and the like.

L'invention concerne un procédé pour diminuer la durée des diarrhées chez l'homme et éviter leur répétition par administration, par voie orale, d'oligosaccharides non digestibles, à titre préventif. Plus particulièrement, cette invention concerne un procédé d'utilisation d'oligosaccharides ou de fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) non digestibles pour diminuer la durée des diarrhées chez l'homme et éviter leur répétition. Pour ce faire, on administre par jour au patient entre 0,5 grammes et 5 grammes d'au moins un FOS choisi dans le groupe constitué par le 1-cestose, le nystose, le 1?F¿-.beta.-fructofuranosyl nystose. Les oligosaccharides non digestibles peuvent être produits par synthèse enzymatique, par des procédés chimiques ou isolés de végétaux et ils sont administrés par voie orale dans du sucre d'orge, des comprimés, du chewing-gum, des pastilles, du lait, du yaourt, des produits fermentés et similaire.
