Patient's question:
My friend has been a bit constipated recently. I don't know which probiotics are good for adult constipation. Are there probiotics that can quickly help adults restore their gut health? I'd like to ask, what probiotics should adults eat for constipation?Doctor's answer:
Adult constipation can generally be relieved by drinking boiled acid milk made from lactic acid bacteria. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that aid in digestion and help re-establish a balanced gut microbiome with minimal side effects. However, constipation can also be managed through lifestyle adjustments without the need for medication. A diet should focus on light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods that may cause irritation. Increasing the intake of roughage and regular exercise can enhance the digestive system's motility.
