Constipation in children

                            

Constipation in children:

 1 : Soak 6-8 raisins (kishmish) in hot water (depending on the age). When crushed and given routinely even to little infants, it helps to regulate bowel movement (however care should be taken so as not to give too much otherwise the child will get loose motions.)

 2 :Consumption of 6-8 apricots (khurmani) a day or 2-3 cucumbers (kheera) a day or 1-2 bananas a day is also very useful.

3 :  Bulk forming vegetables like carrots, radish, spinach,cabbage or roughage creating things should be consumed.

 4 :  Always eat the whole fruit instead of taking a juice fruit.The fibre content which provides roughage is lost during the process of juicing the fruit

 5 :  Include Whole wheat flour and avoid processed foods(maida, cheese, confectionery) in the diet

 6 :  Taking 2-3 teaspoon of isabgol in milk or warm water either first thing in the morning or at bed time is very beneficial.
