When my Olivia was on it this past spring, we had to do 2 doses in a day for 2 days to get her started. She was 5 1/2 and her dose was a tablespoon, I think. She was kept on it for 30 days to try to get her body more regulated. Even on the med, she never has had a BM daily, but she is doing sooo much better now.

Warm regards,

Janet
