In summary, both the incidence of diarrhea and the mean number
of diarrheal bowel movements per subject reporting any
diarrhea increased with increasing olestra consumed.
Additionally, there was a steady increase in the incidence of
diarrhea reported as "severe" with increasing olestra
consumed.

Results: Fecal measurements during study phase

Six subjects reported a total of 13 episodes of diarrhea
during the stool collection periods (i.e., the last three days
of each treatment period). All episodes of diarrhea that were
reported during the stool collection periods occurred among
subjects eating either olestra 10 g/d or olestra 20 g/d.
Summarized below are all reported bowel movements reported for
the six subjects who experienced diarrhea during the stool
collection periods; bowel movements not collected are noted.
