Study:   

If you would like to read a study on the effects of dietary fibre and probiotics on constipation, click HERE. This is from that study: “Supplementation of dietary fibres, such as psyllium husk or wheat bran (10 ~ 15 g/day) may relieve constipation symptoms. But bloating and flatulence are major concerns on a high fibre intake. Functional constipation patients had alternated gut microbiota profiles. Meta-analysis suggested that multispecies probiotics may increase bowel movement frequency and relieve hard stool in functional constipation. Dietary fibres or probiotics may lead to before-after changes of gut microbiota in patients with functional constipation. But time-series continued changes of gut microbiota during the intervention are unknown. Elevation of 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis in enterochromaffin cells may affect bowel movement. And the elevated plasma 5-hydroxytryptamine was observed in functional constipation patients.
