简要总结
Constipation is a common gastrointestinal motility disorder, chronic condition that often negatively affects the daily lives of patients due to their symptoms, such as infrequent stools, hard stools, straining or painful defecation, cramping, bloating and flatulence. Stress, poor diet and sedentary lifestyle are part of modern lifestyle, which contributes to the onset of constipation. One way to reduce constipation through nutritional management of affected individuals is through consumption of probiotic products, which beneficially affect the development of microbial flora in the intestine, helping to improve the symptoms of constipation. Among these foods, the market is a fresh cheese, plus Bifidobacterium lactis, which according to its maker, when consumed as part of a healthy diet, presents beneficial effects in improving symptoms of constipation.
Hypothesis: The fresh cheese enriched with Bifidobacterium lactis relieves symptoms constipation.
详细描述
General Objective: To investigate the effect of consumption of fresh cheese enriched with Bifidobacterium lactis in improving symptoms of constipation.
Specific Objectives:
Determine whether the intake of cheese enriched with Bifidobacterium lactis changes:
- frequency of bowel movements;
- straining or pain when defecating;
- format of the faeces;
- sensation of incomplete evacuation;
- sensation of anorectal obstruction and
- use of manual maneuvers to facilitate evacuation.
The food industry is increasingly concerned about produce food that are healthy and able to prevent diseases, in particular, to ensure intestinal health.

Thus, they may be indicated as a treatment for constipation, as part of a healthy lifestyle that includes nutrition and physical activity practice. For this reason, this search is justified.
