Introduction

Functional constipation is a chronic disease that is common in children and adults around the world. The treatments for functional constipation include diet and lifestyle interventions, medications, and surgery. The diet pattern plays an important role in the occurrence of constipation.

This protocol aims at exploratorily investigating effectiveness and safety of LVD and QJTCR following
