friendz, my kid, a 5 year old, suffers from acute constipation. It is so much that while in potty she cries a lot because it hurts. Also it happensa in a gap of 3 to 4 days. When we consult the doctor, they prescribe medicine, which, lot of people say is bad for her future. Can you guys suggest some home remedies which you provided for your kids? I would like to rate every response that i get.

It is not good to give medicine to kids everytime,the better way to overcome is the harmless homeopathy which has no sideeffects and it cures very well but takes sometime. Here are some home remedies that can solve your problem--- daily in the mornings give her a glass of warm water with fresh and pure honey (one table spoon) mixed in it,give her fibre food a lot,make her drink fresh fruit juices mostly the orange juice and make her eat more leafy vegetables and mainly take care that her food consists of some juice type untill and unles she is free with this problem. Make her drink more and more water which is first thing should be practiced first.

when i was little i was constipated alot too and it hurt very badly! my mom would often give me prunes which helped alot! rasins work well too, though i find prunes to work better and faster.. try giving her something high in fiber each day though, that may help get her regulated. and if all else fails, let her eat a few prunes a day :)
good luck and i hope ur daughter starts feeling better soon!
