I was wondering if it's ok to use fresh pumpkin for diarrhea or constipation or is there something about canned that makes it better?
We don't have canned pumpkin in NZ, I guess we don't use it as much or something. And I know it's not always practical to have fresh pumpkin but is that the only canned is always suggested instead of fresh?

If you have a good supply of fresh, take a day to cook up a bunch of it and freeze it. It isn't hard.
To Freeze Pumpkin simply halve your pumpkin. Scoop out all the seeds and yuck. Cook your pumpkin until it is soft. You can bake it or boil it, but I just do it in the microwave. Put the pumpkin (or other squash for that matter) cut side down and cook until you can press in on it with your finger (or it is soft when poked with a fork).
Let it cool. Then peel. The peel should pull off easily, or you can scoop out the cooked flesh. Mash up the pumpkin with a fork or a potato masher (or food processor). Put it into your freezer containers (repurposed cottage cheese or sour cream containers do nicely.) If it is still warm, let it cool and stick it in your freezer. If you want portion sizes freeze it in ice cube trays, then transfer to plastic ziplock bags after it is frozen. Voila!
