What do you do when your children are constipated? do you know of any remedy?

Dried apricots are good. About 3 or 4 will do the trick. Dairy products are also good (food containing magnesium). Avoid bananas and potatoes as potassium will make it worse.

Everytime I am constipated, I drink this so -called Virgin Coconut Oil at least 1 tbsp. But children probably won't like it. Apple juice, prune juice, or better yet, mango nectar or puree would be most suitable. Try not to give them constipating foods such as some types of bananas, meat, cheese, fish, etc. I learned that colas also cause constipation. Locally we have papaya fruit to remedy constipation. If you have one in your area, pehaps you can try it. If no, you might be able to find canned ones in your grocery stores.

I have been told by my doctor that bran and prune juice are very good and fast at relieving constipation. Also blueberries and pomegranates. Apple juice also helps to relief constipation. Things that can give you constipation are cheese, yogurt, rice, breadtoast, bananas, and apple sauce as they tend to firm up the stool. The easiest for me would be the apple juice because my children like to drink that.

Try give them some stuff which has high fiber content in it like bran etc.You can also give them the food which has high magnesium in it like apple,mango etc.
