Can babies with constipation eat yam?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. Can babies with constipation eat yam?

Doctor's answer:

It is not advisable to eat Chinese yam. The rich starch content in Chinese yam often leads to bloating and indigestion after consumption, so it is not recommended for the baby to eat it. If constipation occurs again, you can take timely medication for treatment. You can also eat more fruits and vegetables. Dragon fruit has a beneficial effect on treating constipation, so you can appropriately consume more dragon fruit. Additionally, it is essential to drink more water every day.
