What can I do for my child's constipation?
first - look at her diet - lots of fresh fruits and vegetables - esp the "P" fruits - peaches - plums - pears - apricots - avoid bananas - hard cheeses and higher fat milks and rice also result in firmer stools. Talk to your pediatrician for further advice. READ MORE
What treatment is effective for constipation?
My recommendations - serve the "P" fruits - peaches - plums - prunes - pears - these fruits help soften stools (avoid bananas - they constipate) - miralax (over-the-counter) helps keep stools soft - start with 1 Tbsp. mixed with water or diluted juice - daily. If stools are too soft, decrease the dose to 2 tsp (3 tsp = 1 Tbsp) - titrate the amount of daily miralax to the stool consistency. The fruit nectar "juices" that can be found at the store help with constipation. Lots of water intake and exercise help. READ MORE

Is there any way I can help my obese child?
this isn't an easy question to answer but there are many thinks you can try - First, get all the junk food/sweets out of the house. It is very hard to resist eating these foods when they are sitting there staring at you! Lots of fresh veggies and some fruits are best for snacking. An occasional treat is fine - you can't totally cut her off but they should be a treat and not a "usual". Watch portion sizes. Eat regular meals so she isn't hungry all the time. And amp up the exercise! Get outdoors and ride bikes - jog or run daily - join the gym. Do these things together. They aren't a punishment but a fun activity. It will be a slow road but keep up the encouragement. Good luck READ MORE
What do I do if my child is allergic to peanuts?
peanut allergies can be very serious - if she hasn't already, she should see an allergies specialist but at minimum, she should avoid anything that might contain peanuts or peanut oil or peanut butter or manufactured in a facility that might have peanuts/peanut products around. She probably should be carrying an Epi-Pen for emergencies. You need to speak with your pediatrician and/or allergiest. READ MORE
