After veiwing King Corn, and reading omnivores dilemma, I wonder if my sons constipation (if not exacerbated by corn product) is in due inpart to his diet of chips and soda as small(er) child. We do have some digestive issues in our family none being serious-- however, I have to make sure junk food is at a minimum or constipation sets in almost immediately, and lasts (without a bowel movement for up to 3 weeks) BAD stuff I know!!
Corn is a fairly difficult vegetable to digest. This is even more the case in babies and young children, as their gastrointestinal tract is not fulling developed. Try balancing corn and corn-containing foods with some fiber (prune juice, vegetables). Just don't overdo it on the fiber, as that could cause painful cramping.
