Lil Keona loves mangosteen

We are feeding Keona different kinds of fruits like banana, papaya and any fruit that's in season. Lately, I was able to buy mangosteen and let her try to taste it. Wow, she loves it! She would clap her hands and flash her big smile then stretch her hands to ask for more even if her mouth is still full:). I'm very happy that she likes it because she's already fed up with eating papaya. We used to feed her papaya a lot due to her poop problems. Papaya was really effective when she was having chronic constipation aside from the prune juice that we gave her. It's a delight also to note that mangosteen price here in our place are going down this time. From it's usual 80-180 pesos per kilo,which for me is too pricey, it dropped to just 40 pesos.

Chronic Constipation Problem

Baby Keona has been always constipated. We have already changed her diet to fiber - rich foods and increased her fluid intake but it did not work. Sigh. I'm always concerned with this poop problem of her because it will trigger infection (UTI) because she is having ureteral reflux according to her pediatric nephrologist. We have tried feeding her oatmeal, citrus fruits like mandarin, pomelo, ponkan, orange and other high fiber fruits such as grapes but it's still the same. We have also tried prune juice. It just solved her poop problem minimally but not totally. Whenever she's hard up defecating, we have no choice but to put on those soppositories which I dreaded because I'm afraid she'll become dependent on it.
