Ideas for fiber rich foods for a toddler?

Question

I feel like I dont feed my son enough fiber, resulting in constipation from time to time.
What are some quick and easy fiber rich foods I can give him that will help him poop? He’s 2.5 and doesnt poop everyday. Sometimes ever 3-4 days. Sometimes everyday. Its random, but the doctor said its fine and to just give him fiber rich foods.

Answer

My doctor told me that it wasn’t a big deal that my daughter wasn’t pooping everyday too. Her tummy troubles got worse over the years and we eventually ended up in the ER. Anyways I went to a naturalpath with her after that. Not only does my own research show that it’s best to be pooping once to twice a day so did the naturalpath. Anyways I had my daughter tested to see if there was certain foods she wasn’t digesting right. She had several things she wasn’t digesting well and a yeast overgrowth. She temporarily went on some meds for the yeast and cut out sugar and the things that were bothering her for 6 weeks. Her gut healed and now she can eat almost anything, poops everyday and had no tummy problems. Not saying that exactly what my daughter had is what your toddler has, but I’d see if you can find a doctor that has a background in gut health and see if they think it’s normal for your kid to be pooping that much and what they think about your kid’s diet. Regular western medicine doctors don’t have much training on gut health or nutrition

Answer

Fiber is very important but make sure he’s drinking enough water too

Answer

My daughter went through a stage of chronic constipation,what worked for us was cutting back gluten. No breads or pastas, but yes to other starches eg rice and potatoes. We had to really limit it or it would come back despite trying high fiber.

Answer

My kids could live on crisp bread if i let them, but we also live in Skandinavia so its a duper common bread substitute.

Answer

Whole grains (quinoa, oats), fruits, dark vegetables (broccoli, leafy greens). Beans and lentils.
