A member asked:
My 5 year old son does not poop every day, but when he does, it is quite large &he cries. is he constipated? how much miralax should i give?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: Increasing water intake and increasing fiber intake are good ideas. You can give 1/2 of the dose of Miralax, but why not try something a little more child friendly? There are fiber gummies, or my personal favorite, Bush's baked beans. Half cup a day.
