Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  Eating more fiber-rich fruits and vegetables and drinking more fluids, can help alleviating constipation.  It's important to discuss with her pediatrician, about giving her Activia.  He might suggest other treatments, which might also help with her constipation.  

Best,

Daisy
