Some advices that I can give to you are: -Continue with Miralax. -Boost your child's fiber intake. Give her plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Offer apricots, plums, peas, beans, broccoli and, of course, prunes. -Give fluids. -Limit foods that can increase constipation, such as fatty foods that are low in fiber. -Exercise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
