Fastening fruits and vegetables. Constipation Products

Constipation is a hot topic, but one of delicate ones. Irregular stools, and the associated difficulties with bowel movements, occur for a variety of reasons. Of those that especially exacerbate the problem are products that hold on, and motor passivity. Why can eating affect stool frequency? This can be explained, which we will do.

The process of defecation is possible if the products entering the intestine irritate its walls. Due to the contraction of the walls, the food is energetically moving out.

If the products are easily and quickly absorbed, then the intestine is inactive, does not work. The components that make up a number of products “help” this. They relax and paralyze the intestinal muscles, making them passive. Such passivity leads to constipation.

The main reasons because of which the food disrupts the normal process of digesting food

• Low content, or complete absence, of coarse fiber. Dietary fiber, fiber, is found in plant foods. They are practically not absorbed by the body, but they perfectly cleanse the intestines and regulate the “correct” digestion process.
• A large percentage of sugar and simple carbohydrates.
• The presence of trace elements iron.
• The product contains a lot of starch, gelatin.
• Refined products.
• Quickly digestible foods.

If you know the products that fasten, and completely eliminate, or significantly reduce, their consumption, you can cope with constipation yourself.

The body of each person is individual, that is, the impact on him of different products will be different.

The use of foods that are secured will not have dramatic consequences if you adhere to the norms of their consumption. This is especially true for women who often “go on” a diet to lose weight by eating only one product.

Summary

Remember: the use of enemas, and the use of laxative medications, radical measures that are far from harmless to the body. Exclude from the menu products that fasten, do exercises in the morning, do sports.

Performing any physical exercise makes the intestines work actively, and helps relieve stress and negative emotions. Let your gut work like a clock. Good luck

The very first and most common problem faced by the parents of a newborn baby is the imperfection of his intestines. Colic, flatulence and abdominal pain often torment not only infants, but also older children. All this, as well as increased gas formation, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and sometimes even more serious diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, are the consequences of malnutrition of the child or his mother, who is breastfeeding. In order to avoid discomfort in the intestines and to establish the process of defecation in a child, it is necessary to properly organize his nutrition and, of course, the nutrition of mom. And for this, parents need to know which products weaken and which strengthen. Today we’ll talk about how to fix a baby’s stool with fastening foods.

First of all, you need to know that a chair is considered normal when it occurs:

• in breast-fed infants, 3-10 times a day;
• in infants who are breast-fed, 2-3 times a day;
• in children 1-2 years old - about 1 time per day;
• in children older than 2 years - at least 1 time in 2 days.

Of course, small deviations in one direction or another are allowed - it all depends on the physiology of the child, on his eating habits, on the climatic conditions in which he lives, on the standard of living and well-being of his family. But if the child’s stool occurs more often than 10 - 15 times a day or, conversely, less than 1 time in 2 days, it is worth thinking about what and how your baby eats. In order to establish a child’s stool, as we already said, you need to know what foods are attached and refuse them, or, conversely, enter the baby’s diet, depending on the situation.

List of products that attach.

Naturally, each of you will answer the question of what products are fastened - bakery products, strong tea, bird cherry and rice. But this is not a complete list of fixing products. In addition, some food products are much stronger attached under certain conditions and methods of their preparation. The body's response to a particular food product also depends on many other factors. For example:

• in dairy products - from the degree of freshness;
• in vegetables - from variety and degree of maturity;
• for ready-made children's canned mashed potatoes in jars - from manufacturers, or rather, from the concentration of certain additives that they add there, as well as from the consistency of mashed potatoes.

In order to accurately understand what products fasten your baby’s chair, you need to carefully enter them in the child’s diet and monitor the reaction of his body. But for our part, we bring to your attention a plate in which we have combined all the information about which products are fixed and how to prepare them, so that their fixing effect is most effective.

Important!   P for any problems with the intestines of the child, it does not matter if it is constipation, bloating or diarrhea, it is necessary to water the baby as often as possible with plain clean water and feed in small portions!

And remember that the same food product can affect different children in different ways due to different circumstances, so be careful about your baby and you will surely succeed! Have a good appetite for your child and, of course, good health!

Each food product has its own characteristics and chemical composition, which determines the specificity of not only its taste, but also properties that affect the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract of a person and the whole organism. Some vegetables, fruits and drinks have tannins that make the stool denser, while others act exactly the opposite, liquefying stools and provoking diarrhea of \u200b\u200bvarying intensity and duration.

On the example of specific foods that are most often included in the diet of an average citizen, we consider the features of their influence on the consistency of the stool.

Banana

Overseas fruit, which has a large list of beneficial properties. The human digestive system acts beneficially, slightly activating peristalsis. If you eat no more than 3-4 bananas at a time, then the chair will become a little less common, but without signs of diarrhea. Overuse of this product can lead to spasm of the intestinal wall and not prolonged diarrhea.

Beet

The table type of this root vegetable differs from sugar beet in that it is allowed for consumption in food. Cold salads are prepared from the red beetroot, it is added to the first dishes and eaten simply boiled. It has a strong laxative effect, therefore it is recommended for use in small portions. No more than 100-150 grams of vegetable per day. Otherwise, the presence of abdominal pain and liquid diarrhea is not ruled out.

Kefir

Fermented milk product, the use of which leads to an increase in the numerical population of beneficial bacteria that live in the intestinal cavity. Due to this, the digestion process is accelerated, and feces move more quickly through the intestines and do not have time to become dense. Due to this, kefir is classified as a light and natural laxative. The main thing is not to abuse his drink, so as not to provoke bloating.

Coffee

This drink can not be classified as laxatives for the simple reason that caffeine, tannin and tannins, which are contained in natural black coffee beans, slow down the intestines, fasten stools and quite often cause constipation lasting from 1 to 3 days.

This is especially common in people who abuse coffee and drink from 5 cups of an invigorating drink per day or more.

Pumpkin

Cholagogue, stimulating the functioning of the gallbladder, its ducts, as well as the liver. Due to the release of an additional volume of this digestive secretion into the cavity of the stomach, liquefaction of feces occurs, which causes frequent urge to go to the toilet. The more pumpkins eaten, the more intense the laxative effect.

Cottage cheese

It does not belong to the category of products that make the chair weak. With frequent use of cottage cheese and in large portions, its digestion slows down, since the product contains milk protein of animal origin - casein. Its digestion occurs very slowly and is not always fully absorbed. In addition to this, the saturation of cottage cheese with calcium, which also holds the stool together, is of great importance.

Persimmon

A specific fruit that is contraindicated for people with diseases of the digestive system, such as peptic ulcer, gastritis, erosion of the duodenum, pathology of the pancreas and gall bladder. It is considered a laxative if a person ate 3 persimmons or more at a time. In addition, intestinal spasm is not excluded, accompanied by persistent pain.

Prunes

During the preparation of this dried fruit, almost all moisture is evaporated from its tissues. When a person eats it, the body has to give up most of its fluid in order to ensure complete and high-quality digestion of prunes. In this regard, a short-term shortage of water forms in the digestive tract, the absence of which leads to constipation. Therefore, prunes are not considered a laxative, but act on the stool exactly the opposite.

Dates

Due to the high sugar content, dates stimulate the pancreatic tissue, which begins to synthesize a large amount of the hormone insulin and digestive enzymes. Due to this, the chair relaxes a little, but not so much that it causes a person significant discomfort, or reduces the quality of life.

Corn porridge

This dish, prepared from the main cereal culture, has a medium degree of severity in terms of impact on the gastrointestinal tract. In most cases, if this cereal porridge is not seasoned with plenty of fat or a lot of butter, then you should not expect a laxative effect.

The main thing is not to overeat, but to use the product in moderation.

Oatmeal

Unlike corn grits, oatmeal is more liquid, and the grains of the cereal from which it is prepared have choleretic properties. Therefore, the daily use of cereal for breakfast provides a person with excellent intestinal motility and stable stool. Oatmeal lovers never have constipation and other gastrointestinal problems associated with emptying the digestive system.

Dried apricots

By its etiology, these are dried apricot fruits. Dried fruit is prepared under the influence of high temperatures. It can be direct rays of the sun on a hot summer day or drying in the oven. During the cooking process, almost all moisture evaporates, therefore, in the digestive tract, dried apricots take part of the liquid in order to be properly absorbed. The product does not cause diarrhea, and in the case of frequent use and in large quantities, can cause constipation.

Raisins

Raisins, like most other dried fruits, are not able to have a laxative effect on intestinal motility. Of course, it is possible to eat it, but not to people suffering from the accumulation of dense feces inside the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. The recommended portion of dried grapes is no more than 100 grams per day. Then a person will receive only benefits from food.

Kiwi

The fruit contains a large amount of liquid, but it does not have any other chemicals that may have a laxative effect. Nevertheless, due to water content, the use of large amounts of kiwi (more than 5 fruits at a time) can make the stool more fluid and provoke a short-term intestinal upset. This is especially true for people who initially have a tendency to frequent diarrhea.

Grape

White grape varieties can have laxative properties, while red and rich purple ones, on the contrary, make the stool a bit thicker. This is due to the presence of tannins in the peel of berries. If a person consumes grapes with seeds, then there is a 95% chance that he will have constipation in the next 2-3 days. The reason is the same as with the dark skin. In the grape seed, tannins are even more concentrated.

Carrot

It all depends on the form in which this vegetable will be used. Raw carrots, eaten whole, grated with or without sugar, is a natural laxative that is saturated with a lot of healthy vitamins and minerals. It is enough to eat one raw medium-sized carrot to go weaker than usual. At the same time, boiled carrots have the exact opposite effect, and even a single use of it will lead to the formation of solid feces.

Kissel

For the preparation of kissel, potato or corn starch is used, which, after entering the human stomach, provokes a more active pancreas. This body is forced to synthesize more digestive secrets and the hormone insulin to ensure the digestion of jelly and the transformation of starch into glucose, and then food energy. Due to the additional load on the digestive tract, it is possible that there will be a non-prolonged intestinal upset, which manifests itself in the form of diarrhea.

Pear

Unlike apples that weaken stool, pear, on the contrary, makes stool dense and dehydrated. Therefore, if a person eats at least one of this fruit daily, then the first problems with bowel movement may occur. This is especially true for tart varieties that are practically free of fructose. Its absence is due to the fact that the pancreas does not show activity, and the digestion process takes a long time and with the formation of dense feces.

Honey

The laxative effect of this beekeeping product directly depends on the quantities in which it was eaten, as well as the source of nectar. Honey collected from herbs and buckwheat does not have a laxative effect, and the bribe that came from the pollen of white acacia in people with weak intestines can activate peristalsis and cause diarrhea. Nevertheless, in practical terms, such properties of this product are very rare, because bees collect it from various flowers, shrubs of trees and the probability of pollen exclusively from acacia is unlikely. In addition, you will need to eat a very large amount of honey to upset the digestive system.

Perlovka

Cereal cereal, which is prepared from durum wheat. It has a dense and large grain, with a similar internal structure. It does not relax the stool, but acts on the stool just the opposite. If every day or several times a week there is barley porridge, then first the stool will become more dehydrated, and then a person may even face constipation.

Pearl barley is also very difficult for the stomach and pancreas, therefore it is not recommended to include it in the menu for people with chronic pancreatitis, gastritis, and peptic ulcer.

Garnet

Absolutely neutral fruit in terms of the effect on intestinal motility. Regardless of how many people eat ripe grants, the substances in its composition will not significantly change the consistency of the stool. Only various kinds of allergic reactions can occur, which will manifest in the form of a rash, urticaria, itching, swelling of the mucous membrane. At the same time, the digestive system will maintain its usual mode of operation. Therefore, we can definitely say that pomegranate does not relax the chair, but at the same time does not make it dense.

Nuts

It all depends on what kind of nuts are eaten. For example, a walnut is a mild laxative due to its increased concentration of oil in the kernel. Eating peanuts can cause inflammation in the tissues of the pancreas, intestines and cause colitis associated with constipation. Hazelnuts are also no less difficult for the digestive system, so their use should be limited to a maximum of 60 grams in 2-3 days. Otherwise, a person will have constipation, which in addition to this will also be accompanied by persistent pain.

Chamomile

Tea from this medicinal plant has an anti-inflammatory effect, stabilizes and soothes irritated tissues of all organs included in the digestive system. Chamomile is indicated for use in the presence of watery diarrhea. It does not cause constipation, but provides the human body with therapy, thereby stabilizing the density of feces. Approved for use by children and adults without age restrictions. Especially if a person has a tendency to an allergic reaction to chemical drugs.

Green tea

This drink is useful for the body, contains antioxidants, vitamin E, A, C, but at the same time, its frequent drinking and making steep tea is the cause of constipation. The fact is that in green tea there are tannins, tannin and caffeine, the percentage of which is greater than in black leaf tea. Due to this, feces become dense, and when you try to empty the intestines, a person has to make maximum efforts. In this regard, this drink is not recommended for people who suffer from colitis, a stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer, gastritis.

Dogrose

The berries of this wild-growing shrub have a strong choleretic effect, and their intended use is boiling in boiling water in order to obtain compote. After the broth from the rosehip enters the stomach, it begins to stimulate the gallbladder, which produces a large amount of bile, intestinal motility is accelerated, which in turn can cause diarrhea. In addition to the fact that the berry has laxative properties, it is also a diuretic, therefore, with heavy drinking of this compote, a person expects intensive functioning of the organs of the excretory system.

Rice

In order for this cereal to be well digested and fully assimilated, it is necessary to drink a large amount of water. Then the digestive system will be provided with a sufficient volume of fluid, and rice will not take it from the walls of the intestine and its epithelial tissues. Otherwise, it will cause constipation, which will last from 1 to 3 days. Following this, a person will face colic and a lack of appetite. Therefore, it is best to eat rice no more than 1 time per week, or always drink it with juice, tea, compote or a glass of mineral water.

Melon

Strong laxative berry. Many people like the fragrant and sweet flesh of melon, but its excessive consumption will very quickly have a laxative effect on the intestines, and a person will spend a long time in the toilet. It is not excluded that the entire process of gastrointestinal upset will be accompanied by severe pains in the abdomen. In order not to cause this kind of discomfort, you should eat no more than 7 cloves of berries. A large amount will have an adverse effect on digestion.

Each person chooses which food product they prefer according to their individual taste preferences, but despite this it is important to remember that everything eaten has a direct effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, the tone of their muscle fibers and stool density.

Prescription Natural Laxative

The best way to relax the stool is a red beet, namely a salad prepared on its basis. In order to make this tasty, nutritious and at the same time useful remedy at home, you must adhere to the following simple recipe:

1. Take 1 root vegetable of this vegetable, wash it under the pressure of running water and wipe it with a rag.
2. Put in a metal pan, pour water and put on a slow fire.
3. Cook the beets over the next 30-40 minutes, covered with a lid (the main thing is to control the cooking process so that water does not boil).
4. After cooking, remove the pan from the stove and drain the water, and then let the red beets cool to room temperature.
5. Peel the root crop with a knife, and then take a grater and grate it, as for cooking roasting on borsch.
6. To the resulting mass, add to the taste of green or onion. You can also squeeze 2 cloves of garlic through the garlic for a more savory salad. If a person has his own taste preferences in terms of dressing this dish, then you can experiment. There are no strict cooking rules. The main thing is that it is fast, tasty and the biological value of food is present.

Salt and other spices are added to taste. In conclusion, it is recommended to season the salad with 1 teaspoon of sunflower or olive oil and mix everything thoroughly. A very popular version of this dish is when mayonnaise is added to it (food is no longer as useful, but the laxative effect is enhanced several times). This dish is eaten as an independent cold snack or with a side dish.

The laxative effect occurs already after 1.5-2 hours after eating salad from beetroot. In addition, the body is saturated with essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids. There is a gentle cleansing of not only the intestines, but also an improvement in the biochemical composition of the blood.

Natural recipe for fixing agent

If it has already happened that a person has an intestinal upset and watery diarrhea has opened, then you can use pharmacy medicines, or you can take a drink or a food product that has fixing properties and is natural. Rice is best suited for this.

The recipe for making porridge for diarrhea is very simple, and for its implementation you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Take a glass of steamed rice, which does not have any extraneous odors, is not treated with chemicals for better storage (Chinese-made cereal, which is subjected to heavy exposure to herbicides, has a similar flaw).
2. Pour the grains with 2 glasses of water and put on a slow fire. It is best to use an aluminum or duralumin pan so that the rice boils well and does not burn at the same time. Cook for 30-35 minutes and try porridge for a degree of readiness.
3. After the specified time, remove the pan from the stove and allow the rice to cool slightly. It is impossible to salt the obtained porridge in order to maintain the best fastening properties.
4. Pour rice into a bowl and consume it like a regular dish. You can put a piece of chicken or veal meat. The main thing is that it is lean and free of fat.

In order to make the chair even harder, you should drink this dish with strong black tea. The tannins contained in its composition act no worse than any other pharmacy remedy for diarrhea. Also, coffee or green tea can be used for these purposes. It doesn't matter if sugar is added or not. The main thing is that there is a large amount of tea leaves, and the drink itself turns out to be quite cool.

LIST No. 2 (Laxative products)

Fresh raw fruits
Fruits such as bananas, apples, melons and various berries contain a lot of juice, which helps the body flush out toxins and toxins. They are also easily digestible, and contain many antioxidants, dietary fiber and vitamins.
Bananas A large amount of fiber creates a laxative effect and better absorption. In addition, they have a lot of potassium, which helps restore the electrolytic balance in the gastrointestinal tract. They also have many fruit oligosaccharides that help our intestinal microflora work properly. It's about ripe soft bananas.
Apples They have a lot of pectin, which stimulates the intestines and improves stool.
Melon. This is a great way to start the day, as it is one of the easiest foods to digest. They enter the intestine almost immediately for digestion, but if you eat them after other products, they begin to quickly decompose and ferment.
Berries A very large number of antioxidants makes them an excellent helper for health. I recommend the following berries for colon cleansing: blueberries, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, goji berries, acai and cherries or cherries.
Prunes
A recognized natural laxative, prunes are rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, potassium, iron and fiber. In addition, it helps the intestinal microflora, making it a great addition to a cleansing diet.
Aloe vera
This is one of the oldest and most popular medicinal plants known to man. Most aloe leaves are filled with gel, which contains about 99 percent of the water. And 1 percent contains 75 known nutrients in science, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids in 200 active compounds and 12 vitamins, as well as many phytonutrients, enzymes and, of course, water.
Aloe Vera can be consumed in the form of juice on a daily basis.
Hot red pepper, ginger and turmeric
If you cook foods that contain a lot of spices, such as hot peppers, ginger, and turmeric, then you can help your digestion, as these are great laxative foods. For example, pepper stimulates the digestive tract, increasing the production of enzymes in the gastric juice. Fresh ginger, or in the form of tea, is considered one of the best products for regulating digestion, and turmeric is a wonderful seasoning for the liver. It helps to cleanse it, secreting enzymes that actively wash carcinogens from the body.
Citrus
In particular, lemons, oranges, and lime are excellent cleansing products. They flush out toxins and help with enzymatic processes.
Raw vegetables
They are rich in fiber and helps regulate peristalsis. Stock up on foods like onions, carrots, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, white cabbage, Brussels sprouts, garlic, beets and greens. Try to eat more vegetable salads, Korean carrots and sauerkraut.
Tomatoes
Tomato is an excellent product that weakens the body, and also contains many vitamins C, A and K. In addition, they provide about 10 percent of the daily requirement for dietary fiber and are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that protects us from colon and prostate cancer. It is better to eat homemade or country tomatoes.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
They are found in flaxseed, avocado and olive oil and act as natural laxatives, as well as wash toxins well. These products lubricate the intestinal walls and absorb harmful substances on themselves, preventing them from entering the body.
Leafy green vegetables
Fill the refrigerator with sea kale, wheatgrass, cabbage, spinach, dandelion greens, alfalfa, mustard greens, chicory, arugula and other types of green leafy vegetables. Why? They have a laxative effect and contain a lot of fiber, calcium, folic acid, vitamins K and C, as well as magnesium and other nutrients that are necessary for digestion and good health. In addition, herbs help increase bile production, which removes waste products from internal organs and blood.
Avocado
The avocado is packed with useful nutrients, in particular fiber, potassium, vitamin K and folic acid. If there is at least 1 avocado per day, then this will give 30 percent of the daily requirement for dietary fiber. In addition, avocados contain lutein (a carotenoid with vitamin E), magnesium, and monounsaturated fats. And avocado improves skin tone and increases the absorption of nutrients from other products.
Raw seeds and nuts
Include foods such as flax seeds, pumpkins, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, pine nuts, and sunflower seeds in your diet. All of them are rich in fiber, vitamin E, protein, zinc and other nutrients.
Beans, peas and other legumes
They are low in fat and cholesterol, and they are rich in fiber and protein. Great product!

Do not forget to drink a lot of water
  Do not forget about ordinary drinking water, as one of the best natural laxative products to relieve constipation. Drink 8 glasses of clean water per day, but not from the tap! It is very important to moisturize the intestines and regulate its motility.

LIST No. 3 (Products that hold)

Diet is important for treating diarrhea. The food should be fractional, and all dishes must be steamed or used boiled. It is necessary to exclude from the diet spicy, salty, fried and smoked foods, carbonated and alcoholic drinks, canned food, coffee and chocolate. Instead, you need to use those products that fasten the chair:
Of the products, lean meat - beef, chicken and rabbit meat - helps in fixing the stool.
The same can be said of lean fish.
The stool of porridge and decoctions are especially well fixed. Rice porridge, buckwheat or oatmeal should be cooked in water.
You can eat low-fat cottage cheese, boiled eggs or baked potatoes.
Mucous soups cooked on low-fat broth also fix the stool; you can add crackers there.
Helps strengthen the stomach pomegranate infusion. To prepare it, use the pomegranate peel, which is poured with boiling water and insisted for 15 minutes. You need to drink it three times a day, several sips.
What foods hold the chair apart from the above? Strong tea leaves, blackcurrants or persimmons contain tannins, which also strengthen the stool.
With diarrhea, it is necessary not only to use those products that strengthen the stool, but also absorbents that remove pathogenic bacteria, toxins, viruses, intestinal gases from the body. And to prevent dehydration, heavy drinking is recommended.

Such an intimate problem as constipation is not always accepted even in a narrow family circle, so it will not be out of place to know about foods that cause constipation in order to avoid digestive problems. Also, the following product examples and tips for their use will help people suffering from the opposite disorder, namely diarrhea. As you know, it is the diet and the right products that best help to cope with diarrhea..

Unpleasant problems with the gastrointestinal tract (diarrhea, constipation) are associated with the lifestyle of each person, most often these are:

1. limited movement;
2. refined products;
3. unbalanced and malnutrition;
4. employment, regular stress and overwork.

As a rule, constipation is a more feminine problem due to metabolic disorders, diets, and “sedentary” work. In adults and children, the intestines should be emptied once a day, although sometimes the stool can be regular, but insufficient in fecal masses. It is important to prevent any constipation than to treat it when it has already become a serious problem, and it should be remembered that both are the most recent and radical remedies. The most effective method is. Fixing foods are those that are easily absorbed by the body and do not require special efforts from the human digestive tract to assimilate them. They themselves almost instantly dissolve in gastric juice and enzymes and are absorbed into the blood to the "last drop".

What is on your table?

If a person has a digestive problem associated with periodically recurring diarrhea or constipation, then the set of products that causes constipation should be excluded, or vice versa, introduced into the diet to fix excessively loose stools:

• Milk products

Calcium present in natural dairy products is well absorbed in the digestive tract due to milk sugar - lactose. Cheese has fastening effective agents for diarrhea, about 100 grams of Ca are contained in one hundred grams of it, which is the daily norm for a person. If there is an excess of calcium in the patient’s body, the colon ceases to function normally, which can cause constipation. Any dairy products in a single use can cause persistent constipation, since they do not contain fiber and are a source of casein protein, which slows down intestinal motility;

• Fast food

What foods do people who have no time to cook prefer? Semi-finished products or finished products used after heating. But with their constant use, they strengthen, causing stool disturbance due to lack of fiber and a high content of empty calories. In order to normalize the digestive tract, it is important to adhere to the following proportion: 1 gram of fiber per 100 grams of calories. Effectively with regular snacks and constipation, exclude fast food and white flour from the diet, replacing it with whole grain (fiber);

• Red meat

It has a fixing effect (this can be taken into account with diarrhea). The product is rich in fat and lack of fiber, and getting into the intestines, slows down the digestion process. To, you can replace part of the red meat from the daily portion with vegetable protein (beans, brown rice, lentils);

• Dishes and wheat products

The foods that are fixed contain a lot of simple carbohydrates and sugar, these include: pasta, bread, pastries, biscuits. In general, wheat products can complicate the healing process, as have an irritating effect;

• Iron preparations

Medicinal substances containing iron and causing constipation should be used only if necessary. If your body does not suffer from a lack of this element, then you can take daily not tablets, but beans, lentils, pumpkin seeds and whole grains. The simultaneous problem of iron deficiency and regular constipation (especially in a child) is simply solved, you need to add soaked dried apricots to food, as it not only contains a large amount of iron, but also has a soft laxative effect;

• Bananas

When answering the question about what products are fixed, bananas are called among the first. This fruit of different ripeness has amazing features, immature (green) - cause constipation, and ripe - weaken, this should be taken into account by mothers when feeding their babies. This is explained by the fact that there is a lot of starch in green bananas, and the body takes more time to absorb it. Ripe bananas lose some of the starchy substance, but acquire pectin, which removes excess fluid from the tissues. Therefore, it should be remembered that if ripe bananas form an important part of your daily diet, you need to drink enough fluid, otherwise it will negatively affect the intestines and only worsen the situation;

• Coffee and caffeine

Substances with a laxative effect, which are contained in coffee, act on peristalsis as a natural stimulant of its work. As a result, the intestines respond to a serving of coffee with diarrhea, and if a person drinks an invigorating drink, cup by cup, persistent gastrointestinal problems may develop. If human cells are dehydrated, the effect of caffeine will be very negative, which is fraught with the development of constipation and other related health problems.

What triggers the lack of emptying?

What foods cause constipation? People of any age are concerned about this issue, this problem is especially relevant for mothers of newborns and infants, since it is known that with the mother’s milk the child “eats” everything that the mother ate during the day.

Products causing intestinal relaxation:

1. vegetables, raw dried fruits, fruits (prunes, dried apricots, figs);
2. vegetable and fruit juices;
3. beetroot puree, carrot;
4. low fat kefir, yogurt;
5. cereals boiled in water from brown and gray cereals (buckwheat, oatmeal) with the addition of vegetable oil.

From "fixing" the "right" products are good, with their help you can fight constipation:

• before breakfast, you can drink a glass of warm water with the juice of a whole lemon squeezed into it;

• salad of grated vegetables (beets, cabbage, carrots), herbs and vegetable oil instead of heavy fast foods and pasta;
• dishes made of zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkin and sweet pepper will help to “regulate” the bowels and relieve constipation. You can add to the diet and pumpkin seeds;
• porridge is not prepared from semi-finished products, but from real whole grain, for example, rice should be taken unpeeled (brownish) and add walnuts, light raisins to it;
• white cabbage is a good remedy for constipation, it can be consumed raw, stewed or boiled, as a basis for casseroles or as steam dishes;
• persistent constipation can be eliminated with liquid vegetable soups, low-fat kefir, drunk at night, with the addition of a spoonful of olive oil.

It is important to remember that maximum fiber helps increase and soften feces and remove them from the intestines. Spastic constipation requires the opposite, limiting fiber intake, you can fill the diet with boiled vegetables in small quantities.

Gastrointestinal Factors

If you know what products are fixed, then you can avoid problems with emptying. Can cause constipation:

1. buns, white bread, biscuits;

1. rice, steep eggs, canned meat;
2. strong fish and meat broths, strong tea, chocolate, cocoa, red wine;
3. pasta, semolina, mashed potatoes.

All of these products contain substances that paralyze (delay) the work of the intestinal muscles and provoke constipation.

Many medicinal substances attach and adversely affect the stomach, they include psychotropic substances, with iron or antacid, which are prescribed for problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Baby bowel problems

In a child, the problem of constipation can be of a psychological plan, when the usual improper nutrition leads to a lack of stool for several days. Psychological constipation is associated with a fear of emptying or after any serious shock, it is stress that can cause diarrhea or constipation. As a result, the child’s pain is stored in his memory, he is restrained during bowel movements, exacerbating the problem (he wants to poop, but is afraid). Parents should remember that the child should be emptied once a day (once every two days is allowed), intoxication with irregular bowel release is very dangerous for the body of children.

In addition to the treatment prescribed by the pediatrician, a nutrition chart developed by him is needed. Talking and games will also help, in which it is important to convey that “doing things” in a pot is very good. If they are effective, then the problem of constipation will be gradually resolved, only in the future parents will need to monitor baby food and the absence of stress, including quarrels between parents.
