does unripe banana cause constipation. my two (2) year old daughter is suffering from constipation.?

Question

my two (2) year old daughter is suffering from constipation. can we give her normal/moderate riped bananas 2/day. what food(fruits and other easy eatables for kids) should we give her so the bowel movement becomes normal in a natural way. we tried mineral oil for a month but no use.

Answer 1

Bananas are usually eaten regularly, after each meal, to ensure that there is no constipation. I dont think it's the bananas that are causing the constipation in your child. Maybe they are, because you've given them unripe to her. Is she drinking enough water? Do the following: Let her not drink water just before, during or just after meals. Let her drink water (plenty of it) at least half an hour after meals. Let her drink water even inbetween meals. Let her eat more fruits. Bananas are good and continue them. Let them be ripe enough - not green. If the problem persists then consult doc.

Answer 3

Blueberries are very good for maintaining a healthy bowel movement schedule. Blackberry juice is also something you could try, for children especially. My daughter is three, and these are remedies from my mother-in-law, but they worked wonders. A question though, why only bananas? Is your child picky? Blueberries really work wonders, but if you need relief now, add some blackberry juice to any other juice, and it will help relieve constipation almost immediately. Good luck. My youngest daughter also went through this. Try to avoid giving her green bananas.

Answer 4

Bananas in general cause constipation. Mix in some other fruits.
