Intestinal pH and propulsion: an explanation of diarrhoea in lactase deficiency and laxation by lactulose.
Bennett A, Eley KG.
Subjects deficient in lactase may experience bloating, cramps and diarrhoea after ingesting milk, due to the unhydrolysed and poorly-absorbed lactose. The diarrhoea may result from an osmotic effect of the lactose itself or its poorly-absorbed acidic products of fermentation (Weijers, van de Kamer & others, 1961; Christopher & Bayless, 1971), possibly together with an alteration of sodium and water absorption due to the lowered colonic pH (Rousseau & Sladen, 1971). Laxation by lactulose (1-4-beta-galactosidofructose) may operate through an analogous mechanism. The drug is a synthetic dissaccharide which, in oral doses of 10-20 g, relieves chronic constipation (Wesselius-de Casparis, Braadbaart & others, 1968). It is neither hydrolysed by intestinal dissaccharidase (Dahlqvist & Gryboski, 1965) nor absorbed in the gut, but it is converted in the colon mainly to lactic and acetic acids by various bacteria including Lactobacillus acidophilus. Apart from the increased osmotic effect, the pH in the proximal colon falls markedly (Bown, Gibson & others, 1974), and larger doses may reduce stool pH. Weijers & others (1961) inferred that the acidic products formed from lactose in the colon stimulate propulsion, and K.S. Liem (Philips-Duphar) suggested to us that lactulose may relieve constipation partly by stimulation of propulsion due to the lowered pH. The experiments described below support this view.

Symptom-producing interposition of the colon. Clinical syndrome in mentally deficient adults.
Lekkas CN, Lentino W.
Interposition of the colon between the liver and diaphragm, ie. Chilaiditi's syndrome, visible during roentgenographic examination, has been described as an asymptomatic finding in adults of no clinical importance: it is occasionally symptom-producing in children. In mentally retarded adults, however, a unique syndrome commonly occurs, characterized by nausea, pain, vomiting, anorexia, distension, audible bowel sounds, and constipation: all are associated with three roentgenographic features of interposition. The symptoms respond to simple treatment and can be prevented by routine prophylactic measures.

[Distribution and characteristics of chronic constipation among a part of the population of Sofia District]
[Article in Bulgarian]
Damianov D, Damianova T.
The authors studied the chronic constipation morbidity among the Sofia district population. It was established that 20.6 per cent of the efficient population is affected. The effect of numerous factors upon the defecation rhythm and constipation incidence is statistically studied. The subjective patient's assessment in the disease diagnosis is underlined. The clinical characteristic of the disease and the present state of the treatment are determined on the base of the data obtained by the inquiry carried out among 3509 inhabitants from the district. The necessity of wider health education upon the problem among the population is stressed upon.
