AB  - Constipation  is  a  common  problem  that  affects  30%  of  children;  it  is  usually  associated  with  maladaptive  behavior  triggered  by  a  painful  or  otherwise  unpleasant  defecation.  In  the  United  States,  the  average  healthcare  cost  for  the  management  of  children  with  constipation  is  estimated  to  be  $3430/year  compared  to  $1099/year  for  children  without  constipation.  Functional  constipation  is  responsible  for  more  than  95%  of  cases  of  constipation  in  healthy  children  1  year  of  age  and  older.
