The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 nottaking fiber formula and group 2 taking high fiber formulas and response to the treatment werecompared. Results: All patients in two groups were recovered and their defecation pattern was improved.However, in group 2 also efficacy of the treatment was significantly higher than those in group1.
