OT:adding fiber to your child's diet?

[CJRN]

Aloe juice is natural, and can be mixed in juice. I have had great success with adults, and kids with this.

Unfortunately many docs are quick to give meds, instead of trying "natural" ways first.

Good luck!

thanks everyone for your suggestions!! I was thinking the Benefiber tablets might be a better choice as well...she chomps down her flintstones with no issue so I figure an extra tablet that only SHE gets will be no big deal! (Her little brother loves broccoli and coleslaw and every other leafy green veggie he can get his little hands on. It's the strangest thing...I've never met a five year old who enjoys veggies as much as he does! He gets fiber aplenty!!)

I have had good luck with increasing the amount of berries in my dd's diet when she had a little trouble with constipation. This was a suggestion of our ped. Does she like strawberries or blueberries?
