Abstract
Abstract ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of controlling fecal output in humans involving the administration of controlled quantities of a mixture of purified cellulose and pectin is described me result of this method is the physiologically desirable increase of fecal output in humans to at least 130 g/day with an easy to eliminate stool having a moisture content of between about 65 and 80 percent and with a transit time through the gastrointestinal tract of between 24 and 72 hours Dietary composition containing specified ratios of Purified cellulose and pectin suitable for the above method are described.
