Re: Constipating fruits/vegetables

[Guest guest]

I only know that cooked apples and ripe bananas tend to be somewhat " binding " .

I was not aware that broccoli and cauliflower caused constipation. That has not

been my experience.

Constipating fruits/vegetables

Hi,

Is there somewhere I can find a list of which fruits/vegetables or any food

for that matter causes constipation?

I now know that bananas, cauliflour and brocolli do but want to be able to

eliminate all constipating foods.

Thanks,

Actually someone on this board I think had told me that cauliflour caused

constipation after I was making mashed mock potatoes alot.

Thanks.

I think I'll " google " and see what I find out....

A qualified someone? Moderators are the most reliable sources of

information, but I did learn this through some Internet research.

Constipation is often due to a diet that does not include enough fiber. . Some

examples

are prunes, figs, dates, raisins, bananas, apples, peaches, pears, apricots,

beans, peas,

cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage Make sure that your child eats fruits or

vegetables at

least 3 times a day.

Some of the aforementioned foods are only for those who are advanced. Dairy can

also be

constipating:

I have had IBS-Chronic C for years but manage well with the diet. All

of those foods listed except for cooked peaches, pears, cauliflower

and broccoli, cause terrible constipation for me. I know without a

doubt that if I eat even a cooked apple or prune, I will not have a

bowel movement the next day. Strange but true.

Well we do know ourselves best after all. Nothing works for evryone. The fruits

and veggie

do it for me and the dairy is binding but I love it.
