Moms Wear Your Tees Blog: fiber for kids

I recently had the chance to try Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies for my children. My kids are generally not constipated but I figured that it might be good for them to get a little extra fiber especially my for son because he is having trouble with his #2 potty trainging. Fiber creates softer, bulkier stools that are easy to pass. That could be really helpful to my son right now.

I think we have all heard that fiber is good for us and that most of us don't get enough of it. Pedia-Lax has a great fiber webpage to answer your questions about Fiber. It also tells you you about natural fiber sources and gives you the quantity of fiber you could expect from an average serving size of different foods. It is a great way for you to gauge whether your diet is offering enough fiber for different age groups. For example, I learned that a 4-8 year old should consume about 25 grams of fiber in a day and that one apple offers about 3.5 grams.

Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies:
* For kids ages 2-11
* Fiber helps promote regularity
* 1.5 grams of fiber per gummy
* Source of fiber: Polydextrose
* Penguin-shaped gummies deliver fiber in a chewable, kid-friendly form
* Sugar-free, zero calories
* Great tasting, all natural fruit flavors
* Xylitol, the sweetener used in Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies may reduce the risk of cavities
* Easy to incorporate into daily routine
* This product is not a laxative
* Dentist approved

My kids loved the taste and I offered one for desert after lunch and dinner. I liked that they had natural fruit flavors and extra fiber.
