My daughter (who is almost 4) has constipation issues which makes it difficult for her to go and therefore most of the time holds it in, or goes in her underwear. We started giving her these gummy fiber pills which have helped immensly! My daughter got some blood work done a while back because she would have random episodes of throwing up but included in that list is upset stomach, constipation, and constantly says her legs hurt (could be growing pains, could be laziness because she likes us to carry her). I might be forgetting something else as well. I have to confirm with the doctor but I think they checked her for celiac which she would have come back negative since no problems were reported to me. All in all, I think she might have a sensitivity to gluten anyway. So I am looking for gluten free fiber pills. Googled it and nothing. I could up her veggies and what not but she's 4 and likes limited veggies. The pills are just easier to make sure she gets enough fiber.

We eat relatively clean with a few wheat thins and gold fish crackers here and there. What are some processed snacks that you feed your child? Although I give my daughter has many fruits and veggies as she requests she like her crackers and cereal. We mostly shop at whole foods and costco and try to eat as organically/naturally as possible.

Thanks for all the help!
