Hi...Ragi has got high calcium content in it, which might cause constipation. Sometimes this can cause constipation. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation. Constipation is a risk factor for urinary tract infection. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml per day. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day in mashed form.
