ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pregnancy is related to constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. There is no published work in this field studying a Mexican population. Objectives: To estimate the presence of constipation and irritable bowel syndrome in relation to maternal dietary intakes. Methods: The study was conducted at Hospital Regional Materno Infantil of Nuevo Leon. Rome III Criteria determined constipation and irritable bowel syndrome in 336 women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Demographic information and dietary intakes were recorded from a sub-sample of 125 participants: non-constipated, constipated, and with irritable bowel syndrome according to their gastrointestinal condition, to determine differences among groups and the relationship with dietary intakes. Results: Constipation was self-reported by 25% (95% CI 21.0–30.6%) of participants. According to Rome III Criteria, prevalence of constipation and irritable bowel syndrome was 5% (95% CI 2.9– 7.9%) and 13.6% (95% CI 10.2–17.8%), respectively (n = 336). Dietary intakes of kilocalories, fiber, water, and caffeine were not statistically different among non-constipated, constipated and women with irritable bowel syndrome (n = 125). Intakes of fiber and water were lower than recommendation for pregnancy in 85% and 60% of participants, respectively. Conclusions: Dietary intakes were not related to both gastrointestinal conditions, suggesting the effect of hormonal and mechanical factors. Fiber and water consumption below the recommendation reflects the need of prenatal nutritional advice.
