This was a battle that went on in our house for 2 years my youngest struggled with constipation. We really struggled with helping him. I was inclined to not give him an over the counter or prescribed medication. I started to look at our diet first of all.

More fibre was ultimately what we wanted to include in our diet.
This is my list of foods that we started to include in his diet:
Prunes:
If you can get them to eat them. I usually mix them into a fruit salad with other fruits from the list.
Pears
Pears are naturally really high in fiber, Make sure they are on the smaller side because the larger the pear the less fiber.
Flax Seed
As well as being full of fiber they also have good omega 3 fatty acid (the good kind of fat).
Brocoili
Brocoili is best served raw because cooked vegetables lose a lot of there fiber content. If you can't stand the thought of raw brocoili try lightly blanching it.
Carrots
As with Brocoili carrots are best served raw as this helps to retain its natural fiber.
Peaches
Dried peaches work just as well as fresh peaches to releave constipation in kids. This is a great on the go snack.
Figs:
Figs help to soften the stool, making it easier to pass through.
Pinapple:
Pinapple juice is a natural laxative. Its also great to give to kids as a cool drink. They aont even know that they are drinking something that's good for them.
Watermelon:
I have found that watermelon works great to releave constipation in kids because of its high water content.
