Email To A Friend Also see: Constipation What I need to know about Constipation Home Digestive Diseases A-Z List of Topics and Titles : Constipation in Children Constipation in Children Constipation means that bowel movements are hard and dry, difficult or painful to pass, and less frequent than usual. It is a common problem for children, but it is usually temporary and no cause for parents to be concerned. When a child does not eat enough fiber, drink enough liquids, or get enough exercise, constipation is more likely to occur. It also happens when children ignore the urge to have a bowel movement, which they often do out of embarrassment to use a public bathroom, fear or lack of confidence in the absence of a parent, or unwillingness to take a break from play. Sometimes constipation is caused by medicines or a disease. Symptoms of constipation include no bowel movement for several days or daily bowel movements that are hard and dry cramping abdominal pain nausea vomiting weight loss Constipation can make a bowel movement painful, so the child may try to prevent having one. Clenching buttocks, rocking up and down on toes, and turning red in the face are signs of trying to hold in a bowel movement. Treatment depends on the child's age and the severity of the problem. Often eating more fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole-grain cereal), drinking more liquids, and getting more exercise will solve the problem. Sometimes a child may need an enema to remove the stool or a laxative to soften it or prevent a future episode. However, laxatives can be dangerous to children and should be given only with a doctor's approval.

2. Fiber & Constipation - Ask The Dietitian Registered Dietitian Joanne Larson answers commonly asked questions regarding fiber and supplements for constipation. http://www.dietitian.com/fiber.html

Constipation I recently read in a magazine about "Pro Fibe". I am having a lot of difficulty locating it in the natural food stores. Can you give me any ideas where to locate it? Thank you very much. Haven't a clue. My question is why do you want to use it? What are the reported benefits? What is "natural" about this product over eating whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables? Hello, I just purchased a vita-mix (blender) to blend fruit and vegetable drink. I would like to find out what is the recommended amount of fiber intake per person per day. Should children consume the same amount of fiber? Also, I don't like to eat fruit by chewing it. However blending into juice is OK. Would drink blended juice sufficient for healthy daily diet? Thank you for checking the answer. Whether you blend or eat the edible part of fruits or vegetables, you should get the same nutrients assuming you compare 1 raw piece to the equivalent amount juiced. If you cook the vegetables or fruits first, some vitamins (Vitamin C, thiamin) may be lost during cooking depending on the amount of water and the length of cooking. If you don't like to eat fruits or vegetables, but will drink them juiced, which is fine. Either way, you are getting the nutritional benefit. Generally, a person should consume 1 gram of fiber for every 100 calories or approximately 25 grams of fiber per day. Persons with reduced food intake, say 1200 calories, should aim for at least 15 grams of fiber as the average American only eats 12 grams per day. No, children do not need the same amount of fiber as adult; they need fewer fibers and fewer calories until they reach adolescence. The

Your child is constipated if one or more of the following are true: He or she has fewer than 3 bowel movements a week. The stools are hard, dry and unusually large. The stools are difficult to pass. Return to top What causes constipation? Constipation is likely to happen when your child doesn't drink enough water, milk or fruit juices, or if your child doesn't eat a healthy diet that includes enough fiber. Fiber is found in foods such as cereals, grains, fruits and vegetables. If your child eats a diet high in fat and refined sugars (candy and desserts), he or she is probably not getting fiber, which may result in constipation. Constipation may also begin when you change your baby from breast milk or baby formula to whole cow's milk, and when your switch from baby food to solid food. Young children often ignore the urge to have a bowel movement and may become constipated. Your child may not want to interrupt play, ask a teacher or use a public restroom.

For More Information The lower digestive tract Constipation is passage of small amounts of hard, dry bowel movements, usually fewer than three times a week. People who are constipated may find it difficult and painful to have a bowel movement. Other symptoms of constipation include feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and sluggish. Many people think they are constipated when, in fact, their bowel movements are regular. For example, some people believe they are constipated, or irregular, if they do not have a bowel movement every day. However, there is no right number of daily or weekly bowel movements. Normal may be three times a day or three times a week depending on the person. Also, some people naturally have firmer stools than others. At one time or another, almost everyone gets constipated. Poor diet and lack of exercise are usually the causes. In most cases, constipation is temporary and not serious. Understanding its causes, prevention, and treatment will help most people find relief.

Clifton Center for Digestive Diseases University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed First Published: November 1994 Last Revised: November 1994 The use of trademark names does not constitute endorsement by the University of lowa Hospitals and Clinics. Constipation Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. It is frequently caused by a disturbance of how the colon works. The normal functions of the colon are to: Remove water from the waste material that passes from the small intestine into the colon, Serve as a storage area for waste material, and Help move and expel stool from the body. Constipation may occur because: Too much water is removed by the colon, causing dry or hard stools, Stool moves too slowly through the colon, or The patient is unable to expel stools. Normal bowel habits among healthy people vary greatly from three times a day to three times a week. In some individuals, constipation may refer to infrequent bowel movements (less than 3 per week). While troublesome, constipation is usually not serious. It should be treated and corrected to reduce abdominal discomfort and other related symptoms and to prevent the development of complications. Untreated chronic constipation may lead to or aggravate more serious problems such as hemorrhoids or fecal impaction (partial blockage due to hard stool). Measures to Treat Constipation The goal of treatment is to reestablish normal bowel habits without the use of laxatives or enemas. The treatment measures listed below are explain in more detail in the following paragraphs.
