Question
How to treat and prevent constipation and picky eating in six-year-old children?
Answer
Constipation and picky eating in children may be signs of disharmony in the spleen and stomach. It is important to avoid picky eating and insufficient intake of meat. Consider using treatment via food (TCM) methods, such as boiling hawthorn rice porridge or yam and Job’s tears porridge, which have the effect of strengthening the stomach and spleen and are easy to digest. For digestive issues in children, probiotics can be considered to adjust the balance of intestinal flora.
