Not sure if this is the right channel to ask this question but i am sure parents must be having some idea. What are some tips to relive constipation in 4 yo? we have tried all kind of diet changes, fruits, hydration but still need Miralax everyday. Any tips ?
Sounds like a doctor question
Daily at the same time of the day preferably after a meal 10 uninterrupted minutes of potty time A lot better f water
Have you tried Probiotics? Ther-Biotic fon Kids are IMO one of the best probiotics as it contains many different strains. Also, if you run out of ideas or options, a chiropractor might help too. But, in any case, I would say the most important thing is the diet. No processed food (or as little as possible), lots of fiber and lots of water. Good luck!
did not try before. i will buy some probiotics
Beets, apricots (probiotic ones from Costco), prunes (super soft ones are practically like candy). Culturelle or other probiotics powder capsules- can break apart and mix powder into liquids or yoghurt etc.
Give then indian food
Prune juice everyday, yogurt or other probiotics, Ajwain water to aid digestion, avoid giving too much milk.
Organic orange peel. Works wonder. Put it in the pancakes
Psyllium husk. It works for me. See if it's safe for kids
Watermelon is great
Does your house have stairs?
I have seen kids in houses with stairs are more likely to have constipation
Huh, what would be the cause of that?
