The experimental group N 60will receive LACTOFOS 12gday in two doses of 6 g The control group N 60will receive a placebo maltodextrin from 12gday in two shots of 6 g

Subsequently the patients will be classified according to the study of AGACHAN which determined a score based on the main complaints of patients The symptoms that included evaluation for the total score were stool frequency difficulty straining pain at defecation feeling of incomplete evacuation abdominal pain time taken to initiate the evacuation type of assistance for evacuation failed attempts day and duration of constipation The intensity of each symptom varied within the range of 0 to 4 with the exception of the item type of assistance for evacuation which ranged from 0 to 2
