Which foods are constipating and which are not?

[etwahl]

We already had the problem with rice cereal that was constipating...then we moved onto carrots which made her REALLY regular. But then we tried sweet potatoes and it made her constipated....so, which foods are constipating and which makes you "regular"?

Bananas are definitely constipating!

Peaches, pears, plums and prunes usually keep things moving pretty well.

well the brat diet that they put kids on when they get diarrhea is Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and toast! potatoes would probably be on the more constipating side as well!

Go for squash, peas, green beans, peaches, pears, prunes/plums, carrots etc...

You can always make a vegi soup with organic vegis, that you would like to eat too .... potatoes,carrots, zuchinni, peas, greenbeans..... if she was ok with carrots and got a little stopped up with sweet potatoes.... you could always mix the potatoes and carrots together and see how she does with them!!!

Just have to keep trying things and see how she does with them.... if for now she doesn't do well then hold off and then maybe reintroduce them a little later on!

Good luck
