[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]miralax in my understanding is stool softener and works best with good water intake. I would try a laxative next. there is one adult one its lax something=looks like a piece of chocolate. For my 6 year old I gave a half piece of one little square and it worked wonders. its marketed to adults but pediatritian said my kid could have it. I would call his dr for advice-week is a long time.[/quote] It seems so basic, but increase water by at least 2 cups. I was diagnosed with "chronic constipation" a few weeks ago and the doctor merely increased my water intake from 4-6 cups to 8 cups and now I'm regularly going every 1-2 days. It's kind of crazy how simple it was. [/quote]
