[quote=Anonymous]He's 9. He can't eat many raw fruits and veggies because of oral allergies. I cook everything. And for years, he's been just fine with 8-10 different steamed veggies, plus things like sweet potato fries, peas, lima beans, etc. But he's off almost everything, and now it's causing some constipation issues. I don't want to force him to eat things, because my mom did that to me and it caused some real food issues. I'm sure I wouldn't do anything near what she did, but I'm nervous about it. He's been such a great eater up to this point. He will eat veggies if I put a bit of cheese on them. But doesn't cheese constipate? He eats beans, too. But again, he's not eating "enough" to deal with constipation. He eats only whole grain breads with higher fiber content (3 or 4 grams a slice). How else can I get fiber in him? Ideally, it would be from veggies, but I'll take anything at this point. [/quote]
