ABSTRACT:
Described is a method of treating diarrhea in a warm-blooded vertebrate animal, and a composition therefor. The method involves administering to the animal an effective amount of a methylamine, such as betaine. Also described is the use of a composition for the manufacture of a medicament for treatment of diarrhea in a warm-blooded vertebrate animal, wherein the composition contains an effective amount of a methylamine, such as betaine.
