I'm Dr. Belinda Basaca, but my patients call me Dr. B. As a pediatrician, I know that constipation is one of the most common children's health problems because I treat it nearly every day. As a mother of two young boys, I also know that provides little comfort when your child is struggling with the pain and frustration of not being able to go to the bathroom. That's why I'm here to help. I've partnered with Fleet because I'm excited about the new kid-friendly options that Pedia-Lax offers to parents and their children. From time to time, I'll be answering your e-mails and addressing your concerns on the Pedia-Lax Website. I hope you'll consider me just another mom you can turn to for advice.

With best wishes for your health,



Dr. B
