Fit curve to data with constraints

I have some function, f(x) that I want to fit to some measured data. Say for example that f(x)=a*x^2+b*x+c. Is there a way to constrain the fit such that f(x)>=0? In other words, any combination of a,b,c that will result in f(x) being negative (within limits of x that I define) I don't want.
Here I have given a simple example where f(x) is just a second order polynomial of one variable. In this simple case above I could set limits on a,b, and c such that f(x)>0, however, the f(x) that I am actually fitting to the data is much more complex. I am currently using the cftool to do the fit. I also have some experience using the fit(), and lsqnonlin(). Any suggestions or ideas?

This FEX function claims to be able to provide such constraints, though I haven't verified it first hand

It requires the Optimization Toolbox, however, and it forces you to do the fit using spline models.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like this function is only able to do fits with one independent variable. I have several (i.e., f(x1,x2,x3,...). Otherwise, I think this might work.
