Many people think that constipation is just hard, difficult-to-pass stools. But constipation can be more than just those pebbly poos. It is any time that passing a bowel movement is difficult, painful, incomplete, or too infrequent.

Even if you feel your kid’s stool movement is normal, if they are only going a few times a week, this would be classified as constipation.

In this podcast episode, I discuss the main causes of constipation in children. Including:

  • Dehydration
  • Dietary factors
  • Gut bacteria balance
  • Lack of physical activity
