Extra fiber – recipes for little kids who just can’t be regular.
But also, if you’re curious what search terms bring up my website most? I expected a dessert recipe. Alas, no.
I wonder now, deep into my thirties, how many times has a friend looked at me, when I thought it was just a glance in passing, but she was desperately searching out my soul, silently crying out, reaching out, with a mute cry that went unanswered . . . “will applesauce help me poop?”

Also, people are only looking this up in the United States (plus maybe 3 constipated US tourists visiting eastern Europe). What is going on over here? Anyway, here are OTHER RECIPES that will help you (or your child) poop.
