Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential benefit of adding probiotics to the standard treatment for children who present to the emergency department with acute constipation. Before evaluating probiotics as a single therapy, the investigators believe it is prudent to evaluate for added benefit first. Specifically, they seek to determine if adding probiotics decreases the length of time to normal stool frequency, decreases the number of days with abdominal pain/cramping, and improves time to normal eating/drinking.
