My friend's 21-months old son has been having constipation. And he is not the only one - so many children get it.
One of the reason is that parents give their children foods that kids' gentle stomachs are not ready to process - namely, starches, as in crackers, boiled grains, etc.
When I was young, living in Kiev, Ukraine, I remember, in the winter, my mother used to cook potato to make glue to glue paper around the window frames, to keep the wind and cold out. We also put cotton balls under the paper.
So there - when you cook starches, you get glue.
Today, my friend's baby-boy was finally feeling better - I gave her a few capsules of Life 9 probiotics she mixed with the smoothie and gave him last night. Going forward, she will be careful to feed him right.
If you sprout grains, they get enzymes and live nutrients. So flavorful!
