INFANT NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTIPATION EPISODES

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Dietary supplements are a form of complementary and alternative medicine that includes amino acids, biological extracts, herbs, minerals and vitamins. A theoretical review was carried out on the use of nutritional supplements in the pediatric population and their relationship with constipation, which is the second most important adverse effect associated with the consumption of these preparations, after diarrhea. A search for information was carried out, using specialized databases such as Pubmed, Scielo and Biomed Central, describing the main supplements used in pediatrics, constipation as a side effect, and the most important elements on its diagnosis and treatment.
