Abstract
Disclosed herein are formulations comprising lactitol for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation. As disclosed herein, the formulations are administered after or during a meal to improve the pharmacokinetics of the formulation. In particular, administration of the formulation after or during a meal decreases the absorption of lactitol and reduces the AUC.
