Effect of milk and fermented milk on iron absorption in ileostomy subjects

Biophysics Laboratory, Umea University, Sweden.

This study was undertaken to determine whether milk with its high calcium content adversely affects the absorption of nonheme iron from the diet as greatly as single-meal studies indicate. Nine ileostomy subjects ate a low-fiber, low-phytate diet for 8 consecutive weeks. During the first and eight weeks they drank a 250-mL soft drink with three main meals and an evening snack each day (0.16 g Ca/d). During the two intervening 3-wk periods, they drank the same amount of low-fat milk or fermented low-fat milk (Verum; Halsofil, Norrmejerier, Umea, Sweden) according to a formally randomized crossover design (1.4 g Ca/d). During the last 2 d in each of the four periods, apparent iron absorption (balance) from a test diet together with that period's beverage was measured and the plasma ferritin concentration was determined. There was no decrease in apparent iron absorption during the milk diet periods.
