Fussy eating leading to tummy pain and constipation
Show your support
Our little girl is really fussy too, the only thing we have found helped is all consistently sitting at the table eating the exact same meals and just keep putting different things on the table for her to explore. She’s finally eating apples now after consistently putting them on the table, and not making a fuss if she doesn’t want to try it or doesn’t like it. It’s such hard work and completely draining when they have constipation but won’t eat anything new. Our daughter is on lactose twice a day to help but hoping in time, we can come off it. She won’t eat vegetables but will eat apples and bananas. She loves pasta so we just do pasta most nights with a variety of different sauces for her to try and she will eat spaghetti bolognese. I know exactly how you feel. Our GP said she can have up to 10ml of lactulose twice a day, she has 5ml twice a day at the moment but he did recommend 7.5ml twice a day. Hope that helps a libecaus
It was absolutely nothing fancy btw, just pasta because we know she likes it, chopped tomatoes and cucumber, homemade chips, garlic bread, things like that. My focus is getting her to try new things, then I’ll work on what is nutritious for her. She tried a tomato and didn’t like it, and is yet to try the cucumber but I live in hope 🤣 xxx
