IF all this constipation overcome by using laxatives. In fact, in a recent study, the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri can also lower the risk of functional constipation in infants by increasing the frequency of bowel movements.
After six months, at which infants start eating food Companion Mother's Milk (Weaning), infants often suffer from constipation. Constipation in infants caused by changes in the type of food intake, especially if given solid foods low in fiber and water.
Instead of treating constipation with laxatives, it helps Moms deal in a natural way by giving intake-intake containing probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri. Probiotics obtained from dairy and dietary fiber, such as fruits, especially bananas, papayas and melons, and vegetables (spinach, and broccoli).
A research on probiotics in 2010 by Coccorullo and colleagues found that the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri can reduce the risk of functional constipation in infants by increasing the frequency of bowel movements. Functional Constipation is often called sebelit, is common in infants and children.
Stool large, hard, and difficult to remove increasing tendency to defecate reluctant. The more often your child restrain spending stool, the harder the stool removed, so often constipation cause pain, discomfort, and even crying in infants. This condition is certainly cause for concern for parents.
"Most complaints functional constipation not due to an organic disorder or disease. In children and infants, functional constipation may be due to a history of the family, intestinal microflora imbalance, lower gastrointestinal motility disorders, as well as changes in food intake," said Dr.. Eva Jeumpa Soelaeman, SpA (K), Specialist Consultant Gastro Hepatogizi Children, Children's Hospital and the Mother ,Harapan Kita, Jakarta, in a seminar entitled Deliver Your Children from constipation with probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri, Wednesday (05/30/2012).
Eva adds, nutrition is crucial formation of healthy intestinal microflora balance. Mother's Milk (ASI) is the infant's primary source of nutrition for the first 6 months of life and remains critical to children aged 2 years. Breast milk naturally contains many good bacteria called probiotics.
A study conducted by Sinkiewics and his colleagues in 2008 found, Lactobacillus reuteri is naturally found in breast milk in various countries around the world. While Guimonde and colleagues in 2007 found, various bifidobacteria, Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium as lactis, is also found in breast milk. Babies who are breastfed tend to have a dominant intestinal microflora good bacteria bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
"Each probiotic has its own function. However, generally probiotics provide protection and maintain comfort gastrointestinal pathogen exposure from foods of the environment," said Eva.
Besides naturally present in breast milk, probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri carbohydrates ferment lactose or oligosaccharides that are not digested in the large intestine to produce a repair acidic intestinal motility by increasing the movement of intestinal peristalsis help spending feces. Lactobacilllus reuteri helps overcome functional constipation effectively, naturally, and safely by increasing the frequency of bowel movements.
