METHODS Altogether 29 consecutive outpatients diagnosed with chronic constipation from three centers were recruited and stratified based on their history of diabetes mellitus. All patients were administered with oral lactitol for 2 weeks, and a symptoms diary of constipation was recorded. Fecal samples were collected before and after lactitol treatment, and were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect gut microbiota. RESULTS Twenty patients with diabetes mellitus and nine without, all with chronic constipation, were enrolled in this study. After 2-week administration of lactitol, their subscale scores and constipation symptoms significantly decreased (P
