Summary

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of rice based-meal on functional constipation in young Korean women.

Detailed description

Studies comparing and evaluating the effects of a rice-based diet and a wheat-based diet on bowel movements are insufficient. In summary, efficient measures are needed to help individuals consume enough dietary fiber from natural sources in daily life to improve their bowel movements, rather than to consume a fiber supplements separated or synthesized from a particular natural food. In this study, investigators compare and evaluate the effects and safety of eating rice-based diets (brown rice-based and white rice-based) and a wheat-based diet in terms of bowel health and bowel movements among young women with functional constipation.
