Chronic constipation is the #1 cause of kid’s belly pain. Most constipated kids are given MiraLAX - you just stir it into water or juice and problem solved, right? Well, some parents are concerned about possible side effects, and according to its label it is is only supposed to be used for adults for 7 days, max.

On this podcast I discuss natural ways of resolving constipation, including what I recommend before adding in fiber, my favorite types of fiber, tips on the microbiome, and also a surprising deficiency that could lead to gastroparesis and constipation.  This is primarily focused on kids, but the tips apply to all ages.

My new book has all these tips plus more! Get 17 constipating busting recipes & find out what are nature’s osmotics : Curb Your Child’s Constipation - Naturally!
