Brief Answer:
Include fibre rich items in diet
Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXXXXX
Happy to know that she is relieved now.
So it was an intestinal colic secondary to constipation.
In order to make stools soft and easy to pass, we have to include fibre rich items in diet. These include oats, smashed vegetables and fruits.
Also, for a healthy diet, we have to keep 4-5 items in menu and rotate, rather than giving same item regularly. Some diet items will be deficient in some nutrients. So when we take a variety of items, all nutrients will be supplied enough.
I hope this answer will be useful
If you need further clarification, I will be happy to help
