Abstract in brief

  • The review analyzed research from 1966 to 2016 on how water and fluid intake affect the prevention and treatment of functional constipation in children and adolescents, but found limited and varied evidence.
  • Some studies suggest that low fluid intake may be linked to constipation, but there is no clear and consistent proof that increasing water intake effectively treats constipation in young people.
  • More targeted clinical trials and epidemiological studies are needed to better understand the role of fluids in managing constipation and to establish clear guidelines for adequate fluid intake for children and adolescents.]
