Effect of Polydextrose on Fecal Bulk and Bowel Function in Mildly Constipated Subjects

Constipation Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Two-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Parallel Study to Evaluate the Effect of Polydextrose on Fecal Bulk and Bowel Function in Mildly Constipated Subjects

Clinical Trial Summary

Polydextrose (PDX) (8-30g/day) has been reported to increase faecal bulk and consistency, leading to easier stool passage in healthy subjects. Studies on its effect on defaecation frequency and colonic transit time have provided mixed results. The primary objective was to investigate the effect of PDX consumption by mildly constipated subjects on faecal bulk, measured as total faecal wet weight of 4-day collections. Secondary outcomes (faecal dry weight, defaecation frequency, stool consistency, ease of stool passage, total colonic transit time and gastrointestinal symptoms) were also explored. 51 subjects participated in a 4-week, two-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study testing a control (CON) and a PDX treatment (18 g/d included in biscuits and drink mixtures)
