Benefiber - questions for toddlers

My DS tells me his hiney hurts when he poops and sometimes it is hard, so I want to try something.  He eats well and eats a ton of fruit and veggies but it isn't enough.  His pedi told me I could try a fiber like Benefiber to help but I was curious if any of you have tried any others or have any recs or have any other ideas.  I've tried the fiber gummies but he doesn't like the texture - if they were a chewable he would like them.  Thanks!

    did your doctor suggest miralax as an option? DS gets this daily--it's a flavorless powder that dissolves in any beverage (we put DS's in a bit of prune juice cut with water, so he gets extra fiber too).

    dried fruit is another great source of fiber.

    She said any of them were fine, the only one she specified was Benefiber, but she didn't say don't give X or anything.  I want something I can put in with his juice or milk or something that isn't gritty and doesn't change the taste.  I will check out Miralax thanks!
