Can i give my 4 year old lacson every day? is there not something else i can give her daily? she doesn't want to nr. 2

Yes: This product works by attaching itself to water within the digestive tract & it is not absorbed. By this action it retains moisture within the poop, allowing it to remain softer. It can be given daily for months at a time if not longer. For kids who fear going because of pain this increases the chance the poop will not harden in spite of their attempts to avoid going.
