Our youngest has had troubles stooling most of her life. It became more dramatic once she started potty training. She started off great and excited but soon she became upset and would cry with just talking about sitting on the toilet. She often holds stool in for days and then have an abnormally large and hard stool. We were desperate to help her. We seen her pediatrician and wad recommended a bowel cleanse (it was horrible) and a regimen of meds. I did not like the idea of the medications. I was up late looking up options and decided to give this a try. It took some time for her to drink the fluids with this in it, but now we are on our second bag! It took a couple weeks but suddenly, she is feeling when we has to go (we no longer have to ask several times a day). Her stool is still a bit large but much softer and it seems easier for her to pass. The sticker chart we got seems to be helping her stay motivated!
