FleetPedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener - 4 oz, Pack of 2

So great for my toddler!

Works very well

I buy this for my wife who has a dementia from a brain disease (HD) that affects her ability to swallow anything but liquids. She also had severe constipation going for a week without a movement, then very hard and dry. Situation is complicated by her refusal to take any medication or even see a physician. After much experimenting, came upon a solution that works involving 7 grams of a well known M---L-x laxative plus 30 ml PediaLax per day. The PediaLax is mixed into nutritional shakes or chocolate milk. She does drink it and does not complain. Best is daily movements but not diarrhea or loose stools. Definitely recommend for anybody who is a caregiver in a similar situation.

I have a 2 yo boy and tried to mask this in very chocolate-y chocolate milk (which is my son's biggest love) and he took one sip and gagged begging for water. there's no way I can get him to take this. tried with straight juice ( I always give him diluted) thinking the sweet would make it and he threw the cup at me. Also why do you have to buy 2 of these vs. just one? It would take years to use two bottles-- now I'm stuck with this stuff and is such a waste. Going to go back to using the Miralax. I had heard this may be better for him but doesn't matter if can't get it down the hatch.

My 18 month old would not drink this not matter what I mixed it in, even straight juice or chocolate milk, it has a very strong flavor. We ended up getting the Pedialax chewables and she does a lot better with them.

My son is on the spectrum and is non verbal so it’s hard to get him to take medicine and I typically have to mix it with his juice or milk. If he tastes medicine he usually refuses to drink the rest and unfortunately with this he can easily taste it even after I’ve mixed it considering you have to put a lot of it in the drink. Not really a knock on the medicine itself my son is just tough with these things and just wish there was a medicine that will help him with his constipation that doesn’t taste terrible or can hardly notice. Also the price was rather steep too for this.

Highly recommend for a child that can't go , makes a movement easier for them

My daughter would hold her poo because she said it hurt. She would scream every time she had a bowel movement. After a year of the struggle I tried the stool softener. After about 2 months of daily use, she stopped holding her bowel movements. She can now go comfortably. I now give it to her every other to every 3rd day to keep her comfortable.
