A patient with chronic refractory non-secretory diarrhea following ileostomy was treated with the long acting somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995. Under treatment with somatostatin stool weights were drastically reduced and electrolyte dysbalance was normalized within a few days. This case report shows that somatostatin is also therapeutically effective in non-secretory diarrhea.
