Question 1

have constipation in adults, what to do to treat it?

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.

Question 2

does milk cause constipation in adults?

Accepted Answer

Complex...?Yes? & No: Most people focus on inanimate stuff as powerful; missing reality of the power within us as embodied souls built from dust (biblical ref.), molecules (modern terms). Constipation is a behavior: stool firmer (less water) due to staying in colon longer (colon absorbs water back to blood stream), dehydration, stalling going. Lots of issues, depending on how we react, powerfully change our behavior(s).

Question 3

what natural remedies for constipation in adults are there?

Accepted Answer

Diet and fluids: A good high fiber diet and plenty of non caffeinated, non alcoholic fluids should do the trick...Nothing more  nothing less.
80-100 ounces of fluids per day at a minimum.

Question 4

do oranges and pears help constipation?

Accepted Answer

Pears could cause: Gi upset and loose bowel movements in people who are intolerant to sorbitol (a sugar in pears ; some other fruits).

Question 5

can i give my 3 month old baby pear juice?

Accepted Answer

Not yet: Not yet unless your doctor recommended it as a treatment for hard stools (constipation). Juice may be started at 4 months of age but limit to max of 4 ounces. In my opinion water will always be better than juice. Specially since juice is "flavored sugar water". It does not provide any essential nutrition and abuse may lead to obesity.

Question 6

what kind of juice is beneficial for treating constipation ?

Accepted Answer

Prune juice: Drink lots of water and you can try a little prune juice.

Question 7

my baby is a month old , can i treat his constipation with 30ml apple juice?

Accepted Answer

: Constipation??? A one month old breast fed baby can poo every feed or just once a week. Bottle fed are more predictable daily, but if either have it is soft when they go it is not constipation, no matter if they fuss to poop or not. Yes, apple juice is okay at that age in that quantity.

Question 8

can i give my 8 week old pear juice?

Accepted Answer

Why ?: The kid has no biologic need for juices in their lifetime. An 8 wk old has not developed a sense of taste,  and does not benefit from the empty sugars in the juice. I might use this in concentrated form to help with constipation at that age but don't recommend it to infants.

Question 9

can orange juice help with constipation?

Accepted Answer

Not usually.: Orange juice does not usually help the bowels move properly. If it is just an occasional problem, you might want to consider prunes. In the long run, you will want to increase fiber in your diet. A fiber cereal is good for that. I mix mine up in yogurt each morning to give it a better taste. Often I add in fruit also. Good luck.

Question 10

is cranberry juice good for constipation?

Accepted Answer

A little: Cranberry juice has sugar, which can help a little the way any juice can. Plus staying well hydrated is important. In regards to it's laxative power, not really. Cranberries themselves offer fiber the same way other berries do, and that is substantiative. However, juices have little fiber and aid little as a laxative.
