Seeking a Naturopath or Nutritionist for toddler constipation
We have a 1 year old who has struggled with constipation ever since starting solids. We’ve focused on the basics of hydration, fibrous foods, prune juice, and working with our kid's pediatrician, but it continues to be a problem. We need more support to figure out a diet that works for our kid’s GI system. Does anyone have a Naturopathic doctor or Nutritionist they’d recommend for toddlers?

This is not what you’re asking for but we had the same problem with our kiddo starting around the same age. I think it was a combination of their body adjusting to solids, not getting enough fiber at first because of not being able to eat all foods yet, and also wearing a diaper. We kept ours, per our pediatrician’s recommendation, on a low dose of Miralax (I wanna say like 1 tsp once a day) for almost two years. Then we tapered off it gradually once potty trained and it’s now been over a year and a half with no constipation incidents at all. Just my two cents!
