Subject: 4 year old not pooping in the potty

Our 4 year old son is still not pooping in the potty. He wears underpants and can pee in the potty like a pro. He does not have accidents at night. He asks for a pull-up when he has to poop. He has pooped at least two times in the potty and received lots of praise (the last time was last year). However, the next time he still wanted a pull-up. We have tried everything, but are reluctant to lay down a heavy hand because we don't want him to get constipated. He has even gotten to the point where he can sit on the potty with a pull-up on and poop. We have made the ultimatum that there are no more pull-ups after this last package. Any hints?
