These fruits are fiber rich. The laxative properties of both apple and pomegranate are good to relieve constipation.

February 25, 2019 at 8:51 pm2 pediatricians have told me not to give apples to my twins if they have constipation. Infact BRAT diet has applesauce to stop diarrhea. So how can apple juice help stop constipation?

Apples eaten in moderation is good for constipation as they are fiber rich. Too much dietary fiber can cause constipation. The ingredients in this recipe balances each other and works the best for constipation.
