Question 2

my child ( 2 years old girl) is taking pomegranate and guava for some days. now she is suffering from constipation. what might be the reason ?

Accepted Answer

Fluid intake: If the only change in her diet has been the increase intake of guava and pomegranate, then it is most likely that she needs more water or fluid intake, as both fruits have a good source of fiber and can make the stool bulky but need water to move it through the intestine.  Some children this age will purposely stop the urge to have BM if they have experienced pain or are being potty trained.

Question 8

does risotto cause constipation?

Risotto: Is an italian rice dish. If you have a diet that is high in this type of carbs and is lacking in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and other sources of fiber - constipation is more likely. But risotto does not in and of itself cause constipation.

Question 9

could over eating cause constipation?

Accepted Answer

Overeat/Constipation: Overeating may cause constipation by increasing the intestinal waste . This may lead to improper colon function and distension of the colon possibly affecting the muscle tone and natural peristalsis or wave like motions of the intestine which propel the waste materials towards the anal opening.  A well balanced diet high in fiber and water decreases constipation. See your doctor for  an exam.

Question 10

what causes constipation and how can i treat this?

Accepted Answer

Change your diet and: Fluids. Eat a high fiber diet between 20-25 grams per day, regular meal times and drink 80-100 oz of caffeine free alcohol free fluids daily. If you exercise and should add 20 oz per 30 minutes of strenuous exercise. Some meds contribute to constipation so take the meds with full glass of fluid instead of a sip in addition to the above recommended fluids.
