fruit good for constipated kids
- dragonfruit
- kiwi
- blueberries
- grapes (eaten with skin)
- papaya
PD mentioned common fruits like apple, orange, pear etc doesn't do anything for constipation.
Dragonfruit works wonders for isaac, coz of the little black bits. But my MIL says it's v 'liang' & cannot give everyday. Most times, I swop between any of the abv fruit, except papaya coz isaac doesn't like it. Seems that he likes citrus fruits. He's not keen on yellowish fruit eg papaya, peach.
Banana hardens the stool coz starchy, so dun give too much. At the very most, give her some prunes or prune juice.
If it's very bad, maybe chk with doc whether any medication can soften the stool to make it easier to pass out. When isaac was just 5m+, he didn't poo for 11 days despite being on TBM. Doc inserted bullet and the poo came out v fast. Coz the initial poo was very hard (due to lack of water) and he didn't know how to push it out, everything accumulated inside. After he poo everything, his tummy went flat. haha.
