Summary

This study is testing whether a fermented milk drink containing a specific probiotic (Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota) can help relieve constipation symptoms in Filipino adults. Researchers will measure changes in stool consistency, bowel movement frequency, and how long it takes to pass stool. The study involves 60 adults aged 18 to 59 who have hard or lumpy stools at least 25% of the time.
