| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to achieve smooth bowel movement by using inherent ability, analyze the intestinal bacterial flora in adults with constipation symptoms, and examine the preferable habitat of intestinal bacterial flora. From one volunteer with constipation symptoms, feces were obtained (1-2 times a month) for 6 months. This was followed by a 1-week intervention of 1,500-2,000 ml/day water intake, 6 months later. he constitution of the intestinal bacterial flora varied from day to day even in the single individual. By increasing the amount of water intake, the constitution of the intestinal bacterial flora showed a change in Bifidobacteriaceae, Bacteroidaceae, Streptococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Verrucomicrobiaceae. Furthermore, the stool frequency and stool output increased, and the Bristol stool scores were improved.
