This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary fiber supplementation with snack type on functional constipation. We conducted a double blind case-control study with 3 groups; placebo, low dose group (LD: insoluble fiber 7g/d+soluble fiber 1.2g/d) and high dose group (HD: insoluble fiber 14g/d+soluble fiber 2.4g/d), which were randomly assigned out of subjects with functional constipation, defined by modified RomeⅡcriteria. We measured anthropometric parameters and evaluated the bowel movement frequency, stool type, straining, sense of complete evacuation, abdominal discomfort/pain, abdominal inflation, relief and colon transit time before, during the supplementation.
