In the first part of this 3 part series, Dr. Richa discusses that functional constipation, which is constipation when other medical causes have been ruled out, is very common in kids. She shares some important concepts for parents to understand WHY constipation happens in kids and some signs to look out for. When parents understand why constipation occurs, they can be mindful about strategies in their day to day that can prevent and enhance the treatment of constipation.
Constipation is not just a sign to check in, it's also an opportunity to optimize your health and wellbeing. What's good for your gut is good for your health!
Part 2 will discuss some myths and parenting and lifestyle strategies to optimize constipation prevention and management for kids (and the family!).
