5.5 year sold child off Miralax?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm new to this group. My 5.5 years old son has been MB regularly up

till the end of Dec. Where we were on a very long flight which he sat

too much and drank too little. Since we've been having major

constipation issues. We've started with Miralax about 2 months ago, and

it is somewhat helping, however after reading various scary posts of

some people we tend to remove it immidiatly. Do you think that this is

the right thing to do? or do it gradually?

In addition being picky eater (arn't all 5.5 old kids are?) as he is,

it is very hard to add more fiber into his diet (which is reasonbly

healthy). What other ways can you have to handle consitpation on a

regular basis?
