This study aimed at evaluating the interest of a thickened infant formula with lactase activity by comparison with a standard infant formula in the management of benign digestive disorders in infants. Infants of both sex (N =109), ranging in age from 0 to 3:months, were included in a randomised double blind trial. In fants went to the paediatrician because of benign digestive disorders such as re gurgitation, eructation or hiccup, colic, persistent crying and/or meteorism. Ni ne hundred and three infants were included and randomised in two parallel groups : they consumed daily either the thickened infant formula with lactase activity or a standard infant formula. There were no significant difference in the infant s included in both groups. Both formula were well accepted and tolerated. Growth of the infants and compliance during the study were identical and good in the t wo groups. The efficiency of the formula tested was showed on digestive symptoms through:a decrease of the intensity of the digestive discomforts more important in the test than in the standard formula group;a decrease of the intensity of t he gaz significantly more important in the test than in the standard formula gro up;significant decreases in frequency and intensity of gaz in the test group whi le there were no significant diminution in the standard group; This study showed the good tolerance, acceptability and efficiency of a thickened infant formula with lactase activity on benign digestive disorders of young infants.
