We examined the impact of potassium binders on constipation in an elderly patient with heart issues and high potassium levels. Initially, he was treated with calcium polystyrene sulfonate, which managed his potassium but led to severe constipation.
By switching to sodium zirconium cyclosilicate, we saw a remarkable improvement in his constipation while still keeping his potassium levels normal. This suggests that sodium zirconium cyclosilicate may be a better option for managing potassium levels, especially for patients also dealing with constipation.

Potassium supplementation relieved constipation
We looked into a unique case involving a 77-year-old man who experienced persistent constipation and weakness due to an imbalance caused by two herbal medicines containing glycyrrhizin. This imbalance led to severe low potassium levels.
After stopping the herbal remedies and adding potassium supplements, we saw that his symptoms, including constipation, quickly improved. This case highlights how certain herbal treatments can disrupt normal body functions and emphasizes the importance of monitoring potassium levels when using such remedies.

Effectiveness of ALTAS in rectocele
We examined the effects of aluminum potassium sulfate and tannic acid injection sclerotherapy (ALTAS) against transanal rectocele repair (TAR) on anorectal physiology. This study involved 41 patients, where we measured changes in several factors, including constipation scores, before and after each treatment.
Overall, while ALTAS showed significant improvements, like increased push strength and reduced rectocele size, there were no notable differences in defecation ability or rectal sensation between the two treatments. ALTAS emerged as a promising option with fewer complications for those suffering from symptomatic rectocele.

We explored whether incorporating nuts could help relieve constipation in adults undergoing hemodialysis. Over a 10-week study, participants consumed 40g of raw almonds daily for four weeks.
We found that this approach was safe and led to improvements in constipation symptoms, quality of life, and symptom burden. However, our findings suggest that further research is necessary to understand the mechanisms behind these benefits. Nuts, which are often avoided due to high potassium and phosphate content, may have a place in the diets of these patients.

We looked into the effects of dates pulp extract and palm sap on gastrointestinal transit in healthy rats. By giving them either sodium chloride or varying doses of these extracts, we discovered that dates pulp, rich in potassium and sugars, significantly improved GIT activity.
In contrast, the palm sap had a milder effect. Our findings supported traditional beliefs about these substances helping with constipation. However, it’s essential to note that the results do not directly translate to human treatment without further studies.

Caused constipation
The product arrived on time and was undamaged, but unfortunately, it caused strong side effects. After two days of taking it, I experienced constipation, which continued for over a week until I stopped taking it, after which the symptoms cleared up.

Similar efficacy in constipation relief
We undertook a double-blinded trial to compare how effective black strap molasses (BSM) syrup is for treating pediatric functional constipation against polyethylene glycol (PEG).
Over a month, we monitored 92 children with functional constipation, finding that both BSM and PEG improved symptoms equally well.
While BSM has a rich nutrient profile, including potassium, we didn't discover significant differences in effectiveness between the two treatments. Ultimately, both helped relieve constipation without any observed side effects.

Traditional remedy enhances constipation relief
We aimed to understand how the Lubricating Gut Pill (LGP), a traditional Chinese remedy, impacts constipation caused by loperamide in rats. Through well-designed experiments using Ussing chambers to measure chloride secretion, we found that LGP significantly boosts chloride levels in the colon, which helps alleviate constipation. The increase in chloride secretion seems to be linked to specific metabolic processes, providing the necessary osmotic force for laxative effects. The results demonstrate LGP’s potential as an effective treatment for chronic constipation.
