Somatostatin-14 has the formula: <IMAGE> Analogs that are more potent than somatostatin-14 in increasing electrolyte absorption in the gut without suppressing the secretion of GH, insulin and glucagon, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid or solid carrier, can be administered to mammals in the same manner as somatostatin to increase absorbtion of electrolytes for the treatment of diarrhea. In particular of the analogs, certain substitutions are made for Phe in the 11-position, sometimes in combination with deletions in the 4- and 5-positions and in the 12- and 13-positions. D-Cys may also be substituted in the 3- or 14-position. There may be some substitutions in the 6- and 10-positions, and the residues in the 1- and/or 2-positions may also be deleted or substituted.
