Question

anything to get rid of it as my daughters got constipation and cant use tablets any help?

Answer 1

My daughter had the same problem before. Doctor suggested to eat prune or drunk prune juice, and make sure the food she eat contents a lot of fiber. It helps. Also we learned, from time to time, eating more fruit helps too, like strawberry, apple, grape, etc. Good luck. Hope this helps.

Two excellent solutions here, First, if you haven't tried it before drink pure orange squash. Second, slice and chop a few onions and boil with a spoonful of salt and make onion soup. Make sure you have a good fan in the room after eating, you have been warned.
