Apples for constipation?

Question

For toddlers are apples good or bad for constipation?

Answer 1

applesauce is used to treat diarhea in kids, the pectin firms stools up, so no apples would not be good for constipation.
Suggest that raisins or sweetned prune juice would be a better alternative.

Answer 2

Raisins, carrots, any kind of melon,or any fruit except bananas would be better. Apples can help some kids go, but the pectin in ripe apples tends to bind the bowels, not loosen them. Now those little green apples are a different story, but unless you have the tree handy you can;t get them.

Answer 3

Don't know how to answer this, but apple definitely doesn't have laxative effect.

Apples may reduce the risk of colon cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Like many fruits, apples contain Vitamin C as well as a host of other antioxidant compounds, which may reduce the risk of cancer by preventing DNA damage. The fibre content, while less than in most other fruits, helps regulate bowel movements and may thus reduce the risk of colon cancer. They may also help with heart disease, weight loss and controlling cholesterol, as they do not have any cholesterol, have fibre (which reduces cholesterol by preventing reabsorption), and are bulky for their caloric content like most fruits and vegetables.

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
