Yes, apple anything can be constipating; apples are different than citrus fruits in that they contain lots of pectin rather than a lot of citric acid. I worked as a licensed practical nurse before my kids were born, and on the pediatrics ward we always practised the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce/juice and dry toast) when kids had severe diarrhea; these things have a lot of pectin and/or starch, so can be constipating. Dairy products are often a culprit, too, and certain people can become constipated by just about anything (my Dad has horrible trouble from PRUNES!) I think that with my daughter, fluid may be the key: she drinks mostly milk and some water. I guess I'm going to have to experiment with some different kinds of juices and drinks, to see if I can't get liquid into her some other way! Thanks for the advice!
