Effect of KiwiBiotic on functional constipation and related symptoms:A prospective,single-center,randomized,comparative,crossover study

BACKGROUND Functional constipation(FC)is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and bloating,which can greatly affect the quality of life of patients.Conventional treatments often yield suboptimal results,leading to the exploration of alternative therapeutic approaches.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of KiwiBiotic in the management of FC and related symptoms.METHODS This prospective,interventional,single-center,crossover study compared the safety and effectiveness of KiwiBiotic®vs psyllium husk in managing FC,abdominal pain,and bloating.Participants diagnosed with FC were randomly assigned to receive KiwiBiotic or psyllium husk during the two treatment periods,with a 14-day washout period between them.RESULTS Seventy participants were enrolled,32 of whom received KiwiBiotic followed by psyllium husk,and 33 received KiwiBiotic.KiwiBiotic showed superiority over psyllium husk in alleviating abdominal pain and bloating,as evidenced by significantly lower mean scores.Furthermore,KiwiBiotic resulted in more than 90.0%of patients experiencing relief from various constipation symptoms,while psyllium husk showed comparatively lower efficacy.CONCLUSION KiwiBiotic is an effective treatment option for FC,abdominal pain,and bloating,highlighting its potential as a promising alternative therapy for patients with FC and its associated symptoms.

Application Value of Moxibustion Combined with Acupoint Application in Patients with Abdominal Distension after Gynecological Surgery

Objective:To explore the application value of moxibustion and acupoint application in the treatment of postoperative abdominal distention in patients undergoing gynecological surgery.Methods:Seventy-two patients who underwent gynecological surgery in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2021 were randomly divided into two groups.Group A was treated with moxibustion and acupoint application,and group B was treated with routine treatment.The incidence of postoperative abdominal distention,therapeutic effect of abdominal distention,defecation time,exhaust time,recovery time of bowel sounds and the changes of patients’quality of life were analyzed.Results:The incidence of abdominal distension in group A was 22.22%,which was lower than 41.47%in group B(P<0.05).The therapeutic effect of abdominal distension in group A was 87.50%,which was higher than 66.67%in group B(P<0.05).The recovery time of first defecation,first exhaust and bowel sound in group A was shorter than that in group B(P<0.05).All postoperative quality of life scores of group A were higher than that of group B(P<0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of routine postoperative intervention,moxibustion and acupoint application can reduce the risk of postoperative abdominal distention,reduce the degree of abdominal distention,promote the recovery of intestinal function,shorten the first postoperative exhaust and defecation time,and then improve the quality of life of patients.

Stopping or reducing dietary fiber intake reduces constipation and its associated symptoms

AIM: To investigate the effect of reducing dietary fiber on patients with idiopathic constipation. METHODS: Sixty-three cases of idiopathic constipation presenting between May 2008 and May 2010 were enrolled into the study after colonoscopy excluded an organic cause of the constipation. Patients with previous colon surgery or a medical cause of their constipation were excluded. All patients were given an explanation on the role of fiber in the gastrointestinal tract. They were then asked to go on a no fiber diet for 2 wk. Thereafter, they were asked to reduce the amount of dietary fiber intake to a level that they found acceptable. Dietary fiber intake, symptoms of constipation, difficulty in evacuation of stools, anal bleeding, abdominal bloating or abdominal pain were recorded at 1 and 6 mo. RESULTS: The median age of the patients (16 male, 47 female) was 47 years (range, 20-80 years). At 6 mo, 41 patients remained on a no fiber diet, 16 on a reduced fiber diet, and 6 resumed their high fiber diet for religious or personal reasons. Patients who stopped or reduced dietary fiber had significant improvement in their symp-toms while those who continued on a high fiber diet had no change. Of those who stopped fiber completely, the bowel frequency increased from one motion in 3.75 d (± 1.59 d) to one motion in 1.0 d (± 0.0 d) (P < 0.001); those with reduced fiber intake had increased bowel frequency from a mean of one motion per 4.19 d (± 2.09 d) to one motion per 1.9 d (± 1.21 d) on a reduced fiber diet (P < 0.001); those who remained on a high fiber diet continued to have a mean of one motion per 6.83 d (± 1.03 d) before and after consultation. For no fiber, reduced fiber and high fiber groups, respectively, symptoms of bloating were present in 0%, 31.3% and 100% (P < 0.001) and straining to pass stools occurred in 0%, 43.8% and 100% (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Idiopathic constipation and its associated symptoms can be effectively reduced by stopping or even lowering the intake of dietary fiber.

The Value of a Modified Colonic Transit Test in the Diagnosis of Chronic Constipation

Objectives To explore the value of performing a modified colonic transit test in the diagnosis of chronic constipation.Methods we retrospectively analyzed the results in 101 patients admitted to the MDT Outpatient Clinic of Subei People’s Hospital,Jiangsu Province,China,from July 1,2019,to July 31,2021.Patients were prohibited from using drugs and stimulant foods that could affect bowel motility for three days before and during the examination.We performed two abdominal X-rays at 6 and 72 hours after oral ingestion of the barium suspension to observe the residual condition of barium in the patient's colon.We then gave specific treatments based on the different types of constipation detected in the patients.Results Compared with patients with normal transit,patients with slow transit(P<0.001)and patients with rectal evacuation disorders had a significantly reduced stool frequency(P<0.05).The kappa coefficient of the modified colonic transit test compared to anorectal manometry in the diagnosis of functional defecation disorders(FDDs)was 0.649,indicating substantial consistency between the two methods.Conclusion The modified colonic transit test not only assesses colonic transit function and provides an initial determination of the type of constipation,but also shows the colon morphology,providing a reference for possible subsequent treatments.

Response of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation patients administered a combined quebracho/conker tree/M. balsamea Willd extract

The aim of this case series was to retrospectively examine the symptom response of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation(IBS-C) patients administered an herbal extract in a real-world setting. Twenty-four IBS-C patients in a community office practice were provided a combination over-the-counter dietary supplement composed of quebracho(150 mg), conker tree(470 mg) and M. balsamea Willd(0.2 mL) extracts(Atrantil?) and chose to take the formulation for a minimum of 2 wk in an attempt to manage their symptoms. Patient responses to the supplement were assessed by visual analogue scale(VAS) for abdominal pain, constipation and bloating at baseline and at 2 wk as part of standard-of-care. Patient scores from VAS assessments recorded in medical chart data were retrospectively compiled and assessed for the effects of the combined extract on symptoms. Sign tests were used to compare changes from baseline to 2 wk of taking the extract. Significance was defined as P < 0.05. Twenty-one of 24 patients(88%) responded to the dietary supplement as measured by individual improvements in VAS scores for abdominal pain, bloating and constipation symptoms comparing scores prior to administration of the extract against those reported after 2 wk. There were also significant improvements in individual as well as mean VAS scores after 2 wk of administration of the combinedextract compared to baseline for abdominal pain [8.0(6.5, 9.0) vs 2.0(1.0, 3.0), P < 0.001], bloating [8.0(7.0, 9.0) vs 1.0(1.0, 2.0), P < 0.001] and constipation [6.0(3.0, 8.0) vs 2.0(1.0, 3.0), P < 0.001], respectively. In addition, 21 of 24 patients expressed improved quality of life while taking the formulation. There were no reported side effects to administration of the dietary supplement in this practice population suggesting excellent tolerance of the formulation. This pilot retrospective analysis of symptom scores from patients before and after consuming a quebracho/conker tree/M. balsamea Wil d extract may support the formulation's use in IBS-C.
