FleetPedia Lax Liquid Stool Softener, Fruit Punch, 4 oz

My soon to be ten year old has been having a hard time going regularly and so I researched a few different things and this product came up a few times plus it was recommended by a colleague of mine. Well let me tell you this product works. I gave it to my daughter on a Friday night and by Saturday afternoon she was going to the bathroom. She did have to drink it with juice. After going twice within a five hour period she said her stomach felt better and she didn’t have to use the product again for weeks. Overall I say this product is worth the money and it’s easy to use and definitely does the job. It does have an after taste, I know because I tried it as well, I wasn’t going to give my child something without testing it myself. lol it’s meant for children but it did make me go twice as well. Mom tested, child approve.

Works great.

This can be good but not for my son 😄he didn’t like the taste . Since he didn’t want to drink I can’t say it works as good.

We bought this item as recommended by our oncology dietitian as it was liquid and could be put in my husband’s J tube. It is way too thick to put in a feeding tube. It’s gelatinous and not actually liquid. Also the taste is not good. It’s got a lot of artificial sweeteners in it so there’s a bitter taste. Sorbitol will create gas in the bowel which if someone is already in pain this will not help. I chose a particular seller as I was promised delivery over night. Instead the package arrived 2-3 days later. I absolutely do not recommend this product for feeding tubes and would suggest you try a gummy instead of trying to swallow this. If you’re on opioid pain killers for cancer you need both a laxative and a stool softener. This is a stool softener.

Prior to using real hard poops. After taking a couple of doses normal poops. Ease to dose and give. No smell or disgusting taste to it.

I can’t tell you if it works or not. It is extremely thick, tastes horrendous, and leaves an awful after taste. I’ve tried giving it to my 2.5 year old in juice, milk, yogurt, etc.. he refuses it and this kid takes liquid medicine from a medicine cup like a champ. I did try it myself straight from the medicine cup and it burned/irritated my throat.

It works to help our 3 year old daughter make softer stools and she goes much more often. We mix it with 6 oz of orange juice and tell her it’s fruits punch and even tho I think it smells gross she says it’s good ?! Anyways, it truly is the only thing that has helped us with our daughters very painful very hard stools

The flavor said berry but had a bitter taste, tried it in juice and in water. My toddler would not drink it.
