Hope,

Our ped had her on 1 dose a day for 30 days, then 1 dose every other day for 30 days. As I stated before she never did have a BM every day.

Once she got off the med, the stools became harder again. However being on the med, she (and her body) learned what it felt like to have a BM. She (at almost 6) is now having a BM about 4 or 5 times a week. 

I tried to limit the amount of cheese she ate -- but it has never seemed to make much difference. I do make sure she gets plenty to drink. She loves to drink cold water. I think the extra water has helped. Eating plenty of fruit (fresh and canned) has always helped -- it is just hard to get her to eat it.

I have been told that all milk and milk products can be constipating.
