Suggest Remedy For Constipation Problem

Hi, my 2.5 year old struggles to poo. I took her to the doctor who gave her a stool softener and suppositories but the problem isn't her poo is hard they are soft but huge. She only poos twice a week and strains for up to an hour before she goes. She then feels so tender that she cries and won't let me wipe her.
