Fox news article suggests Sunfiber for constipated children

Frequent use of laxatives may cause ‘lazy colon’ which makes the body dependent on the medication to properly void the bowels. Since a primary cause of occasional constipation is not getting enough fiber-rich foods, Torkos suggests adding more vegetables, legumes, whole grains and fruits to the child’s diet. Meeting the recommended dietary fiber intake may still be difficult, so consider a fiber supplement. Gluten-free Sunfiber dissolves crystal clear in water, and is tasteless and odorless. It can also be mixed into food and many beverages, which may help parents boost their pickiest eater’s fiber intake. This truly regulating soluble fiber also has no uncomfortable side effects.
