Re: Help! My child is severely constipated!

Hi, we wanted to share with you an approach that helped our child with her constipation. This is the formula that helps her go to bathroom every day without any discomfort (soft stool). 1 tablet of Probiotic Culturelle Chewable per day PLUS 2-3 Honest Organic Juice (has 8 gr of sugar) per day. Water would be better than juice, but she does not want to drink water, so we have to give her this juice. It took us about 1 month-1.5 month for the probiotic to start working. For years we could not figure out why is our child constipated, she ate a lot of fruits (fiber) but that was not the problem, the problem was lack of water, she drank only a bit per day. Honest Organic Juice has enough water inside, but we think that the probiotic culturelle tablet is the most important ingredient. The importance of water intake is huge since the water softens stool. Probiotic tablet with plenty of water per day, would be the best approach, but she does not like water. Our child goes to bathroom now 2-4 times per day, for 2 months already, so we were concerned and asked her pediatrician is that ok, and the doctor said that it is fine and that we should continue with probiotic, and reduce juice, but that’s her only water intake. This helped us and we wanted to share the information with you. Hopefully, this info will help you too.
