meal ideas for constipation

flowers04 · Oct 11th, 2010, 15:59 PM

my bubs has been constipated since Thursday - we have medication for her but i am avoiding all the culprit foods until she gets back to normal

this means i am really stuck for ideas of what to cook apart from boiled veg

does anyone have any ideas on what i could cook for her - i made brocoli and sweet potato and mushed it all today - but can't give her that everyday - bless her

any ideas would be great

thanks

Spinach (the best), milk, cream, butter, courgette/zucchini, Cabbage & beans

Fruits like: Cantaloupe,Apricots, Figs, Papaya, peaches, pears, pineapples, prunes

ETA: Avoid potatoes (not sure about sweet potatoes) ofcourse apples, bananas & raw carrots xx

Are you giving your little one water?

Harriets never been what you call regular unless she has my fruit puree.

I make up in a bowl in the steamer 1 pear to 2 small apples and mush this up for Harriet.

I also drain off the water from the bowl and use this to make up the baby rice or simular and then add a few spoonfulls of the puree. Harriet has this for lunch and dinner and job done

Just experimenting with 2 more mixes

- apple, pear and prune
- apple, pear, prune, apricot and plum

hoping they have the same effect

Good luck

Anabel karmel has a chicken and apricot recipe, just add a few apricots/figs or somthing to whatever your making.

plum puree - that was ALWAYS a winner with my son (you do need some sugar in it though so it isn't an everyday treat!)

boil them up, peeled in a saucepan with some water and some sugar. yum yum. nice for us as well with plenty of double cream !!!
