Summary

This trial aims to see if probiotics can help improve gut function in people with occasional constipation by reducing the transit time. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either probiotics or a placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who experience occasional constipation and want to explore if probiotics can help improve their gut function. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants must be in good general health with no conflicting medical conditions.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of probiotics versus a placebo (a harmless inactive substance) on improving gastrointestinal function in people with occasional constipation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, generally probiotics may cause mild digestive symptoms such as gas or bloating, especially when first starting them. Placebos typically have no side effects since they contain no active ingredients.
