Constipation?

[Miss Shelby]

My four year old has a problem with it.  I think it's the applejuice.  She loves it.  She hasn't had it, though in about 5 days and viola... no more constipation.    I haven't asked the doctor about it yet, but thought maybe some wisdom could be found here?   Does applejuice cause constipation?  In any event, I don't think she'll be drinking anymore of it.

Apple juice does not provide fiber.  I don't think it causes constipation though.  Could it be that instead of drinking apple juice she is eating more fruits?  Whole fruits contain fiber which is missing in many juices.

I don't know about the juice, but I believe I've heard that apples help "bind you up" if you have the opposite problem of constipation, as do bananas and certain types of cheese. So I suppose apple juice could be the cause of the problem. I guess I'd withhold the AJ for a week or 2 and see what happens. Can't hurt to give it a try.

Try to make water the #1 choice of drink in your house.

My wife says to water down the apple juice, and it will help.But does cause constipation for sure.
