入选标准

  • - Age *18 years and <55 years.
  • - BMI < 30 kg/m2
  • - Has constipation-related complaints. For our study, subjects has to fulfill
  • the following criterion: response <6 to the question *how satisfied are you
  • with your stool pattern*, which is rated on a visual analog scale (VAS) from
  • 1-10, together with at least one of the following criteria:
  • 1. Habitual stool form of Bristol stool type 1-4 or
  • 2. *4 defecations per week
  • Note: these criteria are less stringent than the official *constipation*
  • definition [35], because we preferably want to include participants that do not
  • use laxatives (yet), and we assume that in this *mild constipation* group
  • increasing fiber intake can have the most beneficial effects. Moreover, we
  • chose not to use the Rome IV criteria as definition of constipation-related
  • complaints, due to the proven inability to distinguish functional constipation
  • from Irritable Bowel Syndrome [2]. If there are sufficient eligible
  • participants, the participants with the lowest stool frequency will be selected.
  • - Relatively low fiber intake, for females <26 grams and males <33 grams, as
  • assessed by a fiber screening questionnaire which was validated in the previous
  • study. When enough eligible participants are available, we will choose the
  • participants with the lowest dietary fiber intake.
  • - Living in the surroundings of Wageningen (max. 50 km). Subjects have to visit
  • the research facilities of Human Nutrition a few times for weighing and to
  • drop-off of fecal samples, therefore it is logistically not feasible if
  • subjects life far away. If recruitment is unsuccessful, subjects who live
  • further away will be included and samples will then be collected by researchers
  • or by a parcel service.
  • - In possession of computer (with Chrome browser available) for the PDA, and a
  • mobile phone with android *4.4 or iOS system *9 to use apps. In general, phones
  • which are bought *2013 are compatible with the apps. And independently able to
  • install applications on a phone and log-in on to a website, with the use of a
  • manual and video provided by the researchers.
  • - Signed informed consent.

排除标准

  • - Subjects with a disease that may interfere with the personal dietary advice
  • or outcomes, such as a known autonomic disorder, inflammatory bowel disease,
  • coeliac disease, cancer, dialysis patients, chronic kidney failure, depression
  • or hypothyroidism.
  • - Currently following strict diet and unwilling or unable to change; for
  • example a gluten free diet or a *crash diet* using meal substitutes.
  • - Use of medication that can interfere with the study outcomes, including
  • diuretics, antidepressants, codeine, antibiotics or fiber supplements.
  • Preferably laxative use is excluded, but if recruitment is hurdled by this, we
  • at least exclude specific laxatives like resolor, relistor and constella. These
  • are laxatives who have a significant impact on bowel movements, and are only
  • available on prescription. Osmotic (over the counter available) laxatives will
  • be included if recruitment is difficult. Subjects will then be asked to keep
  • their laxative use stable or reduce, but not to increase usage from their
  • habitual pattern (unless necessary, but then report it to the researchers).
  • Moreover, additional questions regarding laxative usage will be included to
  • estimate the effect of laxatives on stool pattern.
  • - Female subjects: currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become
  • pregnant during the study, as this can affect stool patterns and wellbeing.
  • - Are simultaneously participating in another study.
  • - Unwilling or unable to fulfil the study criteria.
