Patient's question:
These past few days, the child has been a bit constipated, which might be due to the recent dry climate, causing stomach issues. It's said that constipation requires eating many beneficial foods that promote bowel movement. So, can constipation be relieved by eating kelp?Doctor's answer:
After a baby suffers from constipation, they can eat kelp. Kelp can be considered an excellent remedy for constipation. The alginate in kelp, like fiber, cannot be absorbed by the human body. Alginate can affect the colon, thereby aiding in bowel movements. Therefore, kelp can help clear out food residue in the colon. It can effectively compress toxic substances in the food residue that may lead to rectal cancer and dissolve this substance in the large intestine.
