ABSTRACT
The results indicate that maize porridge based ORS is superior to the standard WHO-ORS in reducing stool output and fluid requirement in children with dehydration due to acute diarrhoea. It however offers no advantage over WHO-ORS in terms of weight gain and duration of hospital stay. We conclude that maize-ORS can safely be used in the treatment of mild to moderate dehydration due to acute diarrhoea
