CLINICAL VALUE OF CONSTIPATION IN PEDIATRIC PRACTICE

64 children with chronic constipations being on the ambulatory books in child’s policlinics of Odessa are inspected. During a week children got pastes containing pectin (plum, beet, pumpkin).

Research results have shown, that the use of natural pastes in the food ration of children suffering from constipations stimulates stool normalization and rapid relief of the painful abdominal syndrome. These pastes cause no side effects, including allergic reactions and dysfunctions of the gastro-intestinal tract.
