    Foods to get your bowels moving

    My little one is having some poo issues and I'm wanting to sneak some foods into her diet that will help get her bowels moving. Problem is she won't eat raw pears, apricots, dates. I have to fight to get her to have watermelon! So, does anyone have any ideas (and recipes!) for some foods that might get her bowels moving? So far I have:

    Pear juice
    Pear muffins
    Apricot muffins
    Apricot Sultana Rock Cakes

    TIA

    I accidentally found Kiwi fruit was a good mover for my DDs

    Other wise I used to stew apples or pears with some prunes and whizz it up when DD was really young. As she got older I would keep it in its stewed form and serve it as a treat, perhaps with some cream.

    ETA: I just thought as a recipe, you could put the stewed fruit and prunes into triangles of puff pastry and bake them then eat hot for desert or cold the next day for a treat.

    If you make muffins use wholemeal flour.
