Constipation in children can result from poor diet, dehydration, lack of exercise, or stress. Underlying medical conditions, such as IBS or food intolerances may also contribute.
If your child’s constipation is persistent, painful, or accompanied by other symptoms such as vomiting, weight loss, or blood in the stool, it’s important to consult a pediatric gastroenterologist.
Treatment may include dietary changes, increased fluid intake, physical activity, over-the-counter or prescription medications, and stress management.
A high-fiber diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with adequate hydration, can help alleviate constipation.
In addition to diet changes, increased physical activity and a consistent bathroom routine can also promote regular bowel movements.
