CONSULTS THE EXPERTS
Renowned children’s hospitals and clinical research says
According to Mayo Clinic
A transit study is a recommended test for the most severe cases of constipation.1
In a Study by Boston Children’s Hospital
“Constipation is responsible for 3% of all primary care visits for children ... and the negative effect of the quality of life often persists into adulthood.”2
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology Recommends
A transit study which “clearly separated constipated children with normal from delayed colonic transit ... This test can help the physician make appropriate therapeutic choices for children presently with constipation.”3
