Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does Banatrol TF work to stop diarrhea?
A: Banatrol TF utilizes natural banana flakes containing pectin, a soluble fiber that absorbs excess water in the colon to thicken stool. It also contains the prebiotic Trans-galactooligosaccharide (Bimuno), which feeds beneficial gut bacteria to restore digestive balance.

Q: Is Banatrol TF compatible with ENFit systems?
A: Yes, the 2 fl oz container is NutriConnect ENFit compatible, allowing it to screw directly onto ENFit-compliant feeding tubes for a closed-system delivery that reduces the risk of contamination.

Q: Does Banatrol TF cause constipation like some anti-diarrheal medications?
A: Unlike pharmaceutical binders, Banatrol TF is a medical food that normalizes stool consistency. It does not slow down gut motility, meaning it will not cause "rebound constipation" or "locking up" the GI tract.

Q: Can Banatrol TF be used for C. diff-associated diarrhea?
A: Yes, Banatrol TF is often used in clinical settings for C. diff patients because it helps manage the symptoms of diarrhea without stopping the natural movement of the gut, which is vital for clearing the infection.
