Do not worry!: I do apologize, I do not know what is lacson? however, it is important not to worry. Your son would slowly have formed stool and less often as he grows older. You are doing a great job with the fruits, fluid, fiber and water. I know you may be aware of possible bowel innervation problem is why you are concerned. If he is moving his bowel almost daily and he is healthy do not worry.
