Question 1

does almond milk cause constipation?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: I have not seen constipation as a result of almond milk. Dairy can be constipating as can apples or apple juice in some. Not drinking enough fluid definitley. Bananas, sweet potatoes in some are  foods that can cause constipation.  If stopping almond milk solves the problem and taking it again causes constipation then for you yes almond milk is constipating.

Question 2

which eases constipation, soy or almond milk?

Accepted Answer

Neither: But increasing fluids and avoiding all caffeine and alcohol will help.

Question 3

my daughter is currently on a dairy-free diet, due to a history of chronic constipation.  are almond milk and/or cashew milk binding like cow's milk?

Accepted Answer

LACTOSE FREE: Almond, cashew, rice, coconut and hemp milk are excellent alternatives.

Question 4

im dieting my 4yrs old with dairy products due to severe constipation, backpain. is almond milk gluten free ok and safe to use as alternative?

Accepted Answer

Not best choice: Not all almond milk is gluten free. Check the label. Almond milk is very low in protein and fat which growing children may need. It can be high in sugar too. The almonds need to have been soaked/dehydrated first to rid  phytic acid which blocks mineral absorption and causes tummy distress. Positives: iron, riboflavin and vitamin e, extra calcium.

Question 5

1 year old has trouble pooping since switching to whole milk im thinking its constipation. what could you recommend? is soy or almond milk ok ?

Accepted Answer

: I would avoid rice/bananas/applesauce and breads that slow digestion/pooping. I would add fruit juices/peaches/pears and other fruit products. The milk is likely fine if the rest of the diet doesn't back the kid up.

Question 6

can almond milk make a baby constipated?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Almond milk is not usually associated with constipation. If your baby has constipation on Almond Milk see how baby's stool is effected off the almond milk.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: GI symptoms in a baby can occur when you change what you are giving them because their systems are immature. But, if it continues, you should have him seen by his doctor to determine next steps and what milk is best for him. Good luck to both of you!

Question 8

is it possible that almonds cause constipation to kids?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Almonds are mostly fiber.  They should not cause constipation.  Often constipation in children is from a habit of not using the bathroom when needed.  They tend to delay going until it is painful and this becomes a habit.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Doubtful, since a: 1 oz. Serving of whole almonds (28 to 30 almonds) contains 3 g of dietary fiber. (14 % of the rda).

Question 10

im 19yrs old grl.i hav experiencd constipation 4 past 2 yrs n recently observd constipation cause as a rslt of drinkin milk?y is this n what shud i do?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like milk: Sounds like milk is your problem - you may want to leave it out of your daily diet and see if the problem goes away.  Add a daily calcium supplement (taken with food) daily if you need the extra calcium.  If this doesn't solve the problem, make sure you are eating a healthy diet without processed foods and with plenty of fiber.  Then talk to your md.
