Abstract

Functional constipation is a common digestive problem in children. The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus casei Shirota (LcS) supplemented in fermented yogurt Yakult on constipation improvement in children from 3 to 5 years old
suffering functional constipation. The results showed that after 12 weeks of intervention,
the frequency of bowel movements (BMs) per week in Lactobacillus casei Shirota group
increased 0.6 times, while in control group it only increased 0.1 times. In Lactobacillus
casei Shirota group, type 2 stool consistency (Sausage-shaped but lumpy) was decreased
by 9.4% and type 3 (like a sausage but with cracks on its surface) was decreased by 5.7%
while in control group, the figure of type 2 and type 3 stool consistency was 8.5% and
9.4%. Blood stool were markedly reduced, the intervention group was reduced by 20.8%,
while the control group was reduced by 10.4% after 12 intervention weeks.
