ImpactModerate impact

While some consider the research's implications for dietary choices, many see it as preliminary, so the perceived impact is moderate.

Abstract in brief

The study aimed to find out if replacing cow's milk with soy helps children with chronic functional constipation (CFC), and whether different types of cow's milk protein (A1 vs. A2) affect constipation.
In Trial 1, switching to soy milk significantly resolved constipation in children, suggesting that cow's milk might contribute to CFC, but Trial 2 showed no difference between the effects of milk with A1 or A2 casein.
The results imply that some component common to both A1 and A2 cow's milk may cause constipation in sensitive children, but the specific role of casein type is unclear.]

@Dassintheactor @ANorrisMD Yes, but it's not a strong effect and may be confounded by things like wheat. "Does Milk Cause Constipation? A Crossover Dietary Trial" https://t.co/iwurMMI78o
