Summary

The goal of this intervention study is to compare the effects of fermented dairy and non-fermented dairy on bowel habits and cognitive performance in healthy women with defecations every other day or less. Furthermore, the study aims to explore underlying mechanisms linking the gut and the brain.

In addition, a sub-study will be conducted to explore differences in gut and brain measures between women with daily (reference group) and few (intervention group) weekly bowel movements, respectively, and to explore associations between measures of gut- and brain function.
