We evaluated how effective sorbitol enemas, alongside other treatments, are for children experiencing constipation. In a randomised controlled trial involving 77 children aged 1 to 17 in Iceland, the study compared the results of free fatty acid suppositories and Klyx docusate sodium enemas.
While children receiving higher doses of the suppositories experienced improved bowel emptying and symptom relief, sorbitol enemas were found to be comparably effective. With successful outcomes noted, this could be promising news for seeking less invasive treatments for childhood constipation.

We examined the effects of sorbitol compared to lactulose for treating constipation in elderly patients. In this randomized, double-blind study, 30 men aged 65 to 86 took either sorbitol or lactulose for four weeks.
The results showed no significant difference in the laxative effect of either treatment. Although sorbitol averaged slightly fewer bowel movements per week than lactulose, both options were effective and led to similar levels of symptom severity. This makes sorbitol a promising, budget-friendly choice for managing constipation in the elderly.

Sorbitol is cost-effective but no more effective
We explored the effectiveness of sorbitol as a treatment for constipation in nursing home residents with dementia. Over four weeks, we observed that substituting sorbitol for lactulose did not improve bowel function outcomes, which remained consistent with the use of lactulose.
However, we found that using sorbitol reduced overall treatment costs by 27% to 55%, proving to be a more economical option. This approach minimizes the need for additional laxatives, providing a comfortable solution while keeping costs in check.

Simple solution for constipation
50 people found this helpful
These are superb! I’m in a wheelchair and don't move much, which contributes to constipation and hemorrhoids. This product was recommended by my NP at the gastroenterologist's office and has been an easy solution to a difficult problem. I chew two in the morning and two in the afternoon, as advised, since I don't eat much. It’s a great product, available on Amazon in my area.

I rarely review products, but I felt compelled to for these gummies. After struggling with severe constipation post-childbirth, I tried everything and was only able to go weekly. Desperate, I tried these gummies, and they worked remarkably well. I also increased my water intake. These seemingly changed my gut bacteria positively; after just a week, my body is back on track.

These gummies make life so much easier for people like me. After struggling with my bowel system for so long, I decided to try these fibre gummies. It has been about a month and I haven't missed a day with stooling. They taste amazing considering they're sugar-free. I take them in the morning after drinking a glass of water. I would recommend them to anyone experiencing problems with constipation and stooling.

We examined how dietary changes could impact rapid-transit constipation in children. By asking kids to avoid certain sugars like fructose and lactose, following positive breath tests, we sought to see if their constipation symptoms improved.
Over six months, among 29 participants, we observed significant reductions in constipation severity, abdominal pain, and pain during bowel movements. Additionally, stool consistency improved, suggesting that specific sugar exclusions may greatly help children suffering from rapid-transit constipation.

Quick relief experienced

The sorbitol really works! I purchased these for their soluble fibre, and they’ve provided rapid relief from weeks of medication-induced constipation. Initially hesitant, I found one gummy made a significant difference. I now take one gummy daily and it’s consistently easier to manage my condition after much struggle. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Highly recommended
Constipation resolution was achieved by eating additional dietary fibre and consuming two litres of water daily. This product effectively resolved my constipation! It’s renowned, and I highly recommend it! Why is it no longer available?

Fewer flare-ups
I have IBS with constipation and noticed fewer flare-ups since I started using these Fiber Well gummies. At first, I doubted its effectiveness, but after running out for a month, I experienced more frequent flares, confirming that this product helps manage the condition.

Improved condition
2 people found this helpful
I bought this fibre for my child to help combat constipation while on iron supplements. It has the optimal fibre amount per serving (2.5 g in 1 gummy). While I'm not certain it directly resolved the issue, I noticed a significant improvement. Remember to drink plenty of liquid with it, or it may worsen constipation.

Comfortable experience
2 people found this helpful
I like it because it is delicious and I can easily obtain dietary fibre. My father, who turns 95, was constipated due to age, but he struggled because the medication was too effective. However, after trying this supplement, he felt much more comfortable and pleased with the results.

Effective product
Good, delicious candies that can cause constipation if you do not drink enough water. However, they seem to work effectively. It’s a good product with a large package.
