Heeft chocolade invloed op ontlasting?
Veel chocola en chocolademelk vergroot de kans op obstipatie. Het is verstandig deze producten, net als de vezelarme etenswaren, slechts heel beperkt te geven aan kinderen met obstipatieklachten. Bruinbrood is dus beter dan wit brood. Groenten en fruit bevatten veel vezels en vergemakkelijken de ontlasting.
