PIcky eater: Constipation can be related to food choices, but also can be affected by fluid intake. Offering healthy food choices and allowing access to fluids (water is fine!) can be helpful. Solving the problem of a picky eater is another problem. Do your best to provide a balance of fat, carbohydrates, and protein in a variety of foods. Some children may 'graze' throughout the day eating only small snacks.
