I have been using this for my daughter who is autistic and has really poor diet and constantly constipated. It takes a while to pick up but product is doing it's job and she's happy to drink it with syringe and doesn't taste as bad things like Movicol. All in all, I would recommend product.
Have been using this for the young kids of the family as well as older and adults. It's effective, works well and within 4-6 hours everyone likes the taste. The key ingredient is Sienna, found in other lax products, but that's it's only "medicine" in the formulation. All natural and works great. Had a problem with shipping, but that was on Amazon, not the seller. This isn't our first nor or last order for this must have therapy for when the situation arises.
My daughter was born with chronic constipation. She has been on 1/2 cap of miralax daily for the past 2 yrs. I've tried every homeopathic treatment there is. We've seen multiple GI specialists. It has been a nightmare. Long story short this stuff works!!! I wish it didn't take us so long to discover it. It's amazing and tastes like rootbeer. Keeps everything soft and flowing. Good luck parents. I know it's tough. Give this a go.

This works well for my son who has chronic constipation. He began to refuse the chocolate exlax square and this was a great substitution. It does taste like root beer, however it does have an after taste that r minds me of Pepto Bismal. We give him 2 teaspoons in a 6oz glass of actual rootbeer and he has no idea. Completely undetectable.
