apple juice/white grape juice

[Guest guest]

Hello friends,

I am quite confused about the discussion of apple vs. white grape juice because it seems that what most people are saying is the direct opposite of what a couple of doctors here have told me!!

I was told that apple juice is a major contributor to diarrhea in kids (often what they suspect as Rotovirus is just too much apple juice) and that the American Academy of Pediatrics is beginning to recommend white grape juice as a first juice because it doesn't have that effect. In fact, when 's constipation first started, her doctor suggested one teaspoon of apple juice concentrate 3x a day. I'm not contradicting at all, I'm just confused. . . . anyone else with this opposite information?

I'm getting ready to leave for Seattle tomorrow, but will probably check my mail before I go. Maybe shouldn't have a big cup of apple juice for the car trip!!!
