Ecologic® RELIEFFor reduction of constipation related problems In the Netherlands 20.000-50.000 children suffer from chronic constipation. Their feces is often hard and defecation - which they only do every two or three days - can be painful. Besides this, these children often loss feces unintentionally and can be tormented by stomach pains. Chronic constipation occurs regulary (also in adults). Constipation is often accompanied by lesser bowel movements. The causes of this are not exactly known but in children with constipation an overgrowth has been shown of pathogenic bacteria like Clostridium sp., E. coli and S. aureus. Because multiple bacterial stains can enhance eachothers effect, Winclove and the Emma Children's Hospital developed a mix of bacterial strains, specifically developed against constipation in children. Bacterial strains were selected on their vitro ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria that were found in children and to increase peristaltic movements. Contents in Ecologic® Relief
  The Emma Children's Hospital has conducted a first study with 20 children sufferening from constipation and the age between 4 - 16 year. All children received Ecologic Relief daily during 4 weeks. In one part of the group this lead to improvement within a short period of time: they complained less about stomach pain and/or vistited the toilet more frequently. Besides this a number of children had less stomach pain and unintended loss of feces. Currently, a study with pregnant women suffering from constipation is conducted in the Academic Medical Centre of Amsterdam.
