Papaya

Thank goodness for this. My nephew is having constipation issues right now. He's even started bleeding. He's 7 with ADHD, and getting him to drink enough water is a struggle.

[@markweatherall7437]

Naval Oranges 🍊 too, well they help me.

[@dcsr2457]

Try kiwifruit

[@nanascott1342]

My son is 5 and suffering with constipation he should only have 4 ounces of prune or pear juice right?

[@repa77777]

Drink water is very importan and is necesary to seat in toilet after lunch time, 5 or 10 minutes at least.

[@Kevdog1920]

We cant find kiwi in nj

[@Supernova-mp3]

Yellow dragon fruit is great, I would suggest not eating more than one. Maybe a half or a quarter for children depending on how old they are. And how bad it is.

[@jamesdotson9006]

I agree

[@dariomilkovic4848]

Thx!

[@GrowingIntuitiveEaters]

glad this was helpful!

[@vortexgirl7317]

My little sister has turned 5 and she still constipated after all of that carbonated food and I kept telling her to stop eating cheese pizza everyday cuz. Maybe in a half or a quarter of children depending on how old they are. And how bad it is

[@lizafitzsimmons4623]

Of course I get a Noom ad while watching your video! 🤣

[@ashleyriosrizo]

Whats the dosage for 3 year olds of fresh pureed prunes?

[@GrowingIntuitiveEaters]

Every kid will have a different tolerance! This is something you can ask your pediatrician or dietitian ❤

[@queenrae91]

Does this cause black seeds in bowel movement for days?

[@GrowingIntuitiveEaters]

Seeds can be in stool after eating fruit, but the timeline depends on the individual and the volume eaten

[@Kevdog1920]

I have to start trying smoothies

[@ornelazita290]

My 21 months old baby is suffering with constipation with a lot of blood. The Dr said I should give her food with a lot of fiber but she's already taking fiber but nothing changes. Her anus is coming out please help me

[@LeonCorsos]

Take her to urgent care

[@Sveta.26]

Water and soups help a ton

[@jonp341]

First and foremost, always consult with the pediatrician first. As a parent to my little one, the pediatrician told me to give my toddler prune juice, and give her more water. Also foods with more fiber like prunes, pear, etc. I was also told prune puree is good
