Gut-Pol - 90 GM

• “Lactitol”, produced by hydrogenation of lactose, is an osmotic disaccharide laxative that increases osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen, resulting in increased fecal volume and stimulation of peristalsis.
• Constipation symptoms are quite diverse but typically include infrequent bowel movements, hard or lumpy stools, excessive straining, bloating, abdominal discomfort, and/or feelings of incomplete evacuation.
• Lactitol was slightly more effective than lactulose in increasing weekly stool frequency
•  Lactitol supplementation was found to be well tolerated and to significantly improve symptoms of adult constipation. The efficacy and tolerance of lactitol and lactulose were comparable, with a trend for more frequent stools with lactitol
