pH and S/BCFA analysis of stool samples. For the different feeding groups; amino acid (AAF; red), extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF; green) and human milk (HM; blue), a pH, b acetate, c butyrate, d propionate, e total SCFA and f total BCFA were measured at each visit. A repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) using a Toeplitz covariance structure was used with Bonferroni’s post-hoc test. Each point represents the mean and error bars represent upper and lower limits at a 95% confidence interval. * represents significant difference between visits for AAF in a pH and d propionate and EHF in c butyrate (p < 0.05). Points that do not share the same letter(s) at a given visit are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05)
