a Nutritional data are given as mean ± SEM of summed 3-day nutritional intake. Baseline data was obtained 1 day before initiation of the intervention period and post treatment data was collected on the last day of the intervention period. Body weight measurements are given as mean ± SEM. Post treatment means marked with * differ significantly from baseline (P ≤ 0.05);
b n = 28. One patient failed to record nutritional data before collection of the baseline sample and was therefore left out of the analysis;
c n = 29. One patient failed to record nutritional data before collection of the post treatment sample and was therefore left out of the analysis;
d Patient energy intake at baseline and post treatment differed not significantly (P > 0.05) between GDL milk product and probiotic milk product patient groups.
