my 5 yr. old only poops in her pull up

my daughter has been somewhat potty trained for almost 3yrs. the problem is, she refuses to poop on the potty. she is on lactulose to help w/ her bm. i have exhausted every effort. if i with hold the pull ups, then she will refuse to go. and we have been through a lot with her as far as her bm are concerned. when she was about 19 mts. old, she was in a daycare center. back then she had hard "poop". well one of the daycare providers, felt that if she put her on a big potty, she be able to poop easier. she basically held her there untill she pooped. and i'm afraid that this might of done some damage.~ she is also no longer at that daycare. i love her with all of my heart. i just feel frustrated. please any ideas are welcomed~ Thanks
