A. Hi, when he is constipated you can try food like fresh juices, coconut water, watery fruits and vegetables like cucumber, papaya, pears etc. foods like soaked resin, mousambi juices, prunes etc helps in constipation. also have lots of physical activity as it helps in proper digestion. Give balanced diet with lots if fruits vegetables, curd ghee etc.
