Is there a connection between constipation and the introduction of allergenic foods in babies?

2y ago

Yes studies seem to show that there is but to various extends, with cows milk protein being the most common. However, it is important to note that not all constipation is due to allergenic foods and food allergy does not always present as constipation. However, if the baby has chronic constipation that does not seem to respond to conventional treatment and management, it may be a good idea to consider food allergy. Most are often temporary and may go away after 12 months.
