Abstract
Background In functional gastrointestinal disorders a lack of objective biomarkers limits evaluation of underlying mechanisms. We aimed to demonstrate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging for this task using psyllium, an effective constipation treatment, in patients and controls. Methods Two crossover studies: (i) adults without constipation (controls, n = 9) took three treatments in randomized order for 6 days – maltodextrin (placebo),...
