Hi,
The white bits in the stool could be undigested food particle .However if you continue seeing such particles in every stool then get the stool examination done so that worm infestation could be ruled out.
Give her lots of liquids and fruits for constipation.Veggies can be given in various forms like stuffed parathas,in khichidi,veg sandwich toast etc.One has to get a little creative when cooking for kids .
