4 Year Old with Constipation

My 4 year old is very constipated - enough that the doctors x-rayed his tummy yesterday. They gave me a prescription for Miralax and said that it should make him go. He has had 2 doses of the miralax and a childrens laxative and still has not gone much -just a few poo nuggets. Do any of you moms out there know of any other ways to help him go to the bathroom. Are there any foods that will help besides prunes?

My 3 Year Old Is Constipated

Hi there, I have a problem that I need help with. I have a 3 year old girl who has been potty trained, but is having trouble going potty for #2. She states that she holds it in because it hurts. I give her prune juice every morning and also she loves to eat dried prunes, but is doesn't seem to help her, she is constatnly afraid that it will hurt. I have explained to her that she needs to let it out, but no success yet. Does anybody have any suggestions? I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
