⁵ If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or  faultfinding, and it will be given him.--James 1:5, AMPC

I am not a doctor, nor a health expert, but I have proved this to myself. It may be a way to healthfully help your children or other loved ones to stop or alleviate constipation. 

I'm thankful for a mom who taught me decades ago of the benefits of taking supplements.

I've tried many kinds, and have finally found the brands and types that do the best for my body.

One thing I've discovered is that, when I take more than a drop or two of trace minerals (liquid form), then my bowels get really loose. 

This can also happen with eating organic (no antibiotics in the milk) yogurt or drinking organic (no antibiotics in the milk) kefir; even eating several tablespoons of saurkraut or kimchi.

In addition, another way to alleviate constipation is to drink green shakes, made of spinach, kale, celery, cucumbers, etc., preferably mixed with almond milk or protein powder that also has nutrients, etc.  These will provide fiber to the bowels to help push an impacts through. 

The ultimate way to nourish and bring balance to your entire body is to drink many glasses of good water every day. Whether you feel thirsty or not, your body needs water to function properly, from your bowels to your brain, and everything attached to those and more!

Because I eat (I've had to learn to!) very healthily and take supplements that my body truly absorbs (not like the hard, cheap kind that just pass through and are a waste of money), I don't have constipation, so these things can overbalance my body and cause my bowels to be too loose.

Ask the LORD for wisdom about these, and He will surely reveal to you which is the best fit for you.  He is faithful, and cares about every detail of your life! 

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.--I Peter 5:7, NIV
