In the course of treatment and after treatment 93.1% of the children are free from complaints, of these 48% are without any treatment, the others are given intermitently small doses of lactulose and Clavigrenin. 4.6% of children have occasional problems, 2.3% of the patients did not improve. Improvement of the condition depends on the cooperation of the parents, in particular the mothers. In mothers of the treated children by means of Knobloch's test a higher score of neuroticism was found, as compared with mothers of children with common infections.
