Yes, Similac can cause bad constipation. I too had it for my 5 years old previously when she's at your daughter's age. I change to Nan. I tried introduce Pediasure once awhile but it doesn't work. So I only give Nan and then normal food items for her.
I give my son Nan Optipro, best for him!!
so far I only gave similac and enfagrow
