Need your best toddler constipation tips/tricks

My poor son - he just has a heck of a time going #2. It's breaking my heart! We give him Miralax daily, make sure he eats a Fiber One yogurt every morning, lots of water/milk, fruits and veggies but the poor kid is going 3-4 days without going. And when he does... ouch...I feel like he's going to pop a blood vessel. He's in pain Sad

Anyone have any good tips/tricks to ease this problem. I'm going to call the pedi this weekend but wanted to check with you gals first. Thanks!

    Apple juice usually does the trick for us.  I dilute it.  Fresh pears can also help you go.  There's always prune juice!

    Maybe increase the dose of Miralax?  DD has to take half an adult dose a day.  The pedi said it's more common than you'd think, and she might have to do it for years.  We can definitely notice a difference if we forget even one day.  It took us a little while to figure out just the right dose, but it's made all the difference.

    ETA:  Also, I don't know how long you've been doing the Miralax, but the pedi had us give her a full adult dose for a couple weeks to really clear things out in the beginning.  Of course, you might want to talk to your pedi before you do anything like that.
