Fiber and fluids: Diet is the key to treatment of constipation. There are very short term solutions like suppositories, but if you want to solve the problem, that involves diet. Increase her water intake dramatically - a 2 year old should drink 40-50 ounces of water daily - 8-10 ounces can be juice. Then concentrate on the fiber. Fruits, vegetable and whole grains - there should be no white bread anything at home.
