Changes in (a) stool softness, (b) constipation severity, (c) abdominal pain, and (d) pain during defecation. Stool softness was measured using the Bristol stool scale pediatric version (1 = very hard, 7 = very soft). Constipation severity, abdominal pain, and pain during defecation were measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS), with 0 = none and 10 = a lot. Participants were scored for 6 months before the diet (pre) and at least 6 weeks after the diet (post).
