99 PROBLEMS BUT POOP AIN'T ONE (anymore)

We have tried EVERYTHING for our 3yr old's poop problems. She's a butt-cheek clencher. Doesn't want to let em go and ends up with giant 2wk-old poo baseballs to pass which traumatized her even more. And guys, SHE DRINKS WATER ALL DAY LONG. Pedialax suppositories seemed like the answer to help in the moment with pooballs, but wasn't proactively solving the problem. Miralax you say? Miralax kinda seemed like the answer for about 4 months...softened the business but made her poop all day long. No kidding, squirts literally every 10 minutes. For 4 months. Ask me how exhausted we were. THEN I RAN ACROSS CULTURELLE IN MY RECOMMENDED AMAZON PRODUCTS. I read ya'lls reviews and thought, what the hell, this pediatrician isn't getting it, what the hell. Our lives have seriously changed. Not only has it regulated my daughter's bms, BUT SHE IS EATING FOOD. This toddler is actually eating food again instead of picking at 1 thing on her plate and asking for milk (which yes I'm aware dairy doesn't help). And the best part? She isn't afraid to poo and it's R E G U L A R. No flavor, she doesn't notice the texture (we mix in a cup of oj every morning), and we can all do fun things more than 10 feet away from a potty. Give it a shot for a few weeks, you might not even realize it's working so great because you don't have to think about poop for the first time and one day you'll be like, “Huh. I got 99 Problems BUT POOP AINT ONE

Ditch the Miralax!!!

My 18 month old was struggling with crazy constipation that would only clear up with dr. recommended Miralax. None of the natural remedies worked (prunes, etc) and she would regularly go for 10 days without pooping. This would only come to an end after 3 days of Miralax and then 4 FULL DIAPERS back to back. So sad and frustrating to deal with. Well.. my trouble are over, people! One packet of this in her morning water bottle today and she pooped right after lunch! (What?! So shocked!) While this isn't the all natural remedy I was hoping for, I'll definitely take it over the Miralax any day

Miralax replacer – 100% works

THIS REPLACED MIRALAX FOR OUR DAUGHTER. And yes, it worked. She struggles with constipation and holding and then has what my wife and I lovingly refer to as "scream poops". Take her to the Dr, then a pediatric gastroenterologist and they put her on a cap of miralax a day. That's A LOT for a little person. She acted weird on it, pain, tummy rumblings and diarrhea. So we stopped the miralax. Big mistake as we were right back in scream poop land which is horrible for all. Then I decided to try this as a replacement. We give her 3 packets a day. I mix it in a little water in her juice cup (2 fingers) and then add 2 fingers of prune juice. This has been a godsend without all the horrible miralax side effects like cramping and behavior issues which she 100% had. As an experiment, I took a capful of the miralax for 2 weeks everyday to see what she was going through and I felt like an awful parent. I had cramping, dizziness, just generally weird feelings. I hated it and I'm a pretty normal 41 year old dude with little complaints and a regular build. VERY grateful to have found this for our daughter. * 3 month update: still using these 3X per day and loving the results. Morning, noon and night. Have it on auto deliver

Together with Mommy's Bliss Constipation Ease, this was a LIFESAVER!

Together with Mommy's Bliss Constipation Ease, this was a LIFESAVER! Here is some rather long background, in the hopes that it will help another parent going through a similar situation. My 5 and 1/2 year old has suffered from constipation for over a year. It's been a long, complicated battle with a huge psychological component (the longer he goes between "going", the more scared he gets and the longer he holds it and the more difficult it gets... and so on in a spiral). We put him on Miralax, on his pediatrician's advice, a year ago. First we gave him a 1/3 of what we saw on the internet as a kid-appropriate dose, every 2 to 3 days. It sort of worked for a few months, but it was never easy. Then we had to start giving it more often, like daily and finally, a month ago we went to a full dose (triple of what we started with, and then some) every day, some times twice a day. Then he went a week without going, and when he finally went, well, I don't wish this on anyone. So we had to do something different (despite our doctor telling us to just stay on Miralax and keep increasing the dose; side note, as other reviewers comment, Miralax is not studied or recommended for children or for a prolonged use, despite what pediatricians say). So I came to this and Mommy's Bliss. We now give him one Culturelle Regularity packet in the morning, mixed in some prune juice, and then one dose of Mommy's Bliss Constipation Ease after he gets home from school (2 teaspoons, on its own, followed by a glass of water because the taste is a bit yuk). On the second day of this regimen (with no Miralax - we stopped cold turkey because it stopped doing anything for us), he did #2. It was not a pleasant experience but better than the time before that. Then he went the next day. And the next. He has been going every day since we started this, and it is much easier for him to go. He's not scared anymore either. I don't know if it is Culturelle or Mommy's Bliss, or the combo of both, but we are so relieved (pun intended). I set up an Amazon subscription for both; fingers crossed they keep working

Life saver. Literally!!!

SO happy with this. We have an almost 3 year old girl who was struggling so badly with constipation. It was terrible, she would go days not being able to go-end up crying and screaming and bleeding it was so big and hard. Really traumatizing for her. I wanted something a bit more natural than miralax, so I gave this a shot. She has two packets a day, one in the am, one before bed. It literally saved us. We have successfully conquered potty training now too since going no longer hurts. Very gassy, but not uncomfortably so the first week of use. We call it her “poop water”. Lol. She drinks it mixed in with about 1/4th of a cup of cold water. She seems to not mind the taste or grittiness because of the fact that she understands that it makes her “poops not hurt.â€

Literal Miracle!

I think I've only written one review on a product before, but I'm writing this one for other parents who may be struggling to help their child. I read tons of reviews before buying anything. And I read great reviews for this product but they are mostly regarding toddlers, and I have a 10 year old daughter, so I wasn't sure if this would work, but I gave it a shot. She has ADHD, anxiety, and is lactose intolerant, and at times we've had to use suppositories due to constipation. She takes a gummy probiotic, but no other meds. And, lately, she's been complaining of her stomach hurting after eating anything, even after making sure it's something free of dairy. She's also been much more anxious, seemed sad, and just overall not her normal self. She was scared to even eat sometimes, for fear of her stomach hurting, so she's lost some weight. She didn't want to go to Florida with her dad bc she was scared her stomach would hurt and had anxiety about the trip. BUT, after 3 days of taking this twice a day, a complete 180 has occurred. I'm literally blown away. I asked her how she's feeling and she said she feels great, she's eating, talking more, happy, silly, just like she used to be. She said she felt "depressed" and like "garbage" when she woke up before. She said she feels like a normal human being again. So, I'm writing this review to hopefully help anyone else who's searching for answers for their child, with these same issues

Whoever came up with this product: you have my eternal gratitude!

This product has been a lifesaver. My toddler had so many issues with constipation and because the pooping process had been painful a couple of times, he would then try to stop himself from going #2, making things even worse. I was at the end of my rope, since he was refusing prune juice and any other food that could help with the situation. I had to resort to suppositories, which worked, but are quite a traumatic process for both him and myself, and definitely not a long term solution. These packets took 5 days to start working, but since then he's had a bowel movement every day or every other day! My sanity has been restored. I add one packet to a little bit of water, make sure it's dissolved, and then mix that in his milk. I seriously can't recommend this product enough

Works like magic

My daughter has suffered from constipation since God knows when, she'd go days without a bowel movement. & when she'd finally be able to, we'd literally have to help her by pulling it out and/or pushing her little legs against her stomach to put pressure. They'd sometimes have blood on them, & I know all too well what that feels like (post partum stools are no different) I started by giving her prune juice & that would help some but she would still go days without pooping after. When I came across these little packets, I prayed they'd help her poor little self from the pain. & they sure as heck did! With only one being mixed with a 4oz bottle of prune juice, she finally went on her own with no crying or help. I was so thankful! Now she's gone 3 days in a row with bowel movements by herself. These are legit

Game Changer

My one and a half year old daughter has been constipated since I can remember. We have tried EVERYTHING from karo syrup to a suppository. We would be lucky for her to go once a week and when it did come out it was BAD! Since starting this probiotic she went 3x this week with no pain! This is a game changer and exactly what she needed. Wish I would have known about probiotics sooner

Helpful to maintain good pooping schedule!

After 3 months of constipation issues with my 3 yr old potty trained daughter I was at my ropes end and Dr was telling me she'd have to take mucilax or something every day... No thank you!! I found this and added it to her yogurt or cereal milk or cottage cheese in the am and to her bottle at night (at first to get her going again.) now I just put a pack in her water bottle and shake it and off she goes! It is totally tasteless!! It is easy to mix into anything. She doesn't mind it at all! It took an all systems go effort (2 packs per day plus pears and kiwi and bran buds and lots of water to get her going again... A few hard poops had to be struggled thru but then after 2 days everything just started softening and feeling and looking like "pop snakes" like we were hoping for! Now she has been 1 month straight of daily morning poops like clockwork before school. I still give her the bran buds too and 1 pack in her water a day... But now she is good to go potty and happy do it every morning! Thank God! I think this is a great product and I'm sure it helped
