Question
Why do children often suffer from constipation and how can it be treated?
Answer
Children experiencing frequent constipation may be due to a lack of carbohydrate, fat, or water intake in their diet. Insufficient intake of fibrous foods like vegetables and fruits can also lead to constipation, a common issue in infants fed with formula milk. Sometimes, the improper mixing of formula milk, such as adding too much milk powder (powdered milk) or insufficient water, can result in overly concentrated formula, causing constipation in infants.
