5 year old poop problems???

Hi my five-year-old daughter eats great and drinks only water and yet she has been on Miralax for a while now..months..and I've been trying to slowly wean her off and now that she has been off she is now pooping too much LOL?. She eats very little sugar, drinks at least 60 to 90 oz of water a day and her favorite meal is fish with strawberries so I honestly don't know why she's been constipated in the first place.?. I finally started getting her off of it and literally she has now been pooping 5 times a day for almost two weeks without any Miralax. Her poop is great it's not too soft and it's not too hard just right. But I feel like five times a day is a little much and she is tiny. so is her body just trying to catch up or do I need to try to take her to a different doctor who doesnt keep telling me just to keep giving her Miralax? Thank you so much for your help.

Hi how much movlcoil is she on.give her plenty of p fruit and veg anything with pips in. Sweetcorn is good if chewed to see if bowel have disimpacted the next day.

Up fibre intake.

Do you see contience team poo nurses. Dr's don't really like to talk about it useless the ones we've seen.five times a day is good type 5. My LG has to go four times a day.

thank you so much I'm going to try the corn that's a great idea. And she takes fiber vitamins. I think she's starting to get better. Thank you so much for your help
