Try magnesium citrate powder:

I would also add high dose vitamin c with rose hips:

If she won't swallow tablets you can do what I do and grind them with

a mortar and pestle to a fine powder and add to drinks.

What have you heard about Miralax that is not good? We have had success

with it.

We use Miralax and mix it in her drink without her even knowing it. It is

tasteless and smooth.

Miralax should only be used for very short periods of time, if at

all. Two weeks is the limit given even by the manufacturer.

Polyethylene glycol, the active ingredient in Miralax, is not

supposed to be absorbed by the body, since it is toxic, but those who

have gut problems, such as leaky gut (common in our kids and people

with IBS, colitis, etc.) can experience Miralax toxicity. If PEG

enters the bloodstream, it can cause cerebral salt-wasting and renal

(kidney) toxicity. This can cause a whole host of very serious side

neurological effects, including seizures, severe tics, slurred

speech, inability to control the bowels due to loss of neurological

control, urinary problems, psychological and behavioral issues, and

many more.

It's really Russian Roulette. If you don't absorb it, then you do

fine. But is it really worth that risk? Personally, I think the

answer is no.

[Guest guest]

If that is the case why would my daughters nero phy prescribe it for so

long? And what can I give her as an alternative?

my missy suffers much so with encopresis and we have used of the

miralax but she can now swollow pills so we alternate of things to

not allow addiction or dependence on any one things. she uses miralax

off an on but has not had of this for over a year. she also uses

sinocot, and we then use of laxatives only if she has not had a bowel

movement in 5 days.

we found with her activity is of a key to keep her regular. she needs

much much walking and activity. she learned to do a skate board so

she loves of this and does this as exercise and it is of good for

motor coordinations too. but if we let her eat to much carbs and fat

foods and not enough movment and water she will get of much impacted

again.

with her it is of also teaching healthy routine and teaching her what

is of normal for people in regards to bowels. whem sje is of getting

impacted she loses appitate and struggles to retain learned things

and becaome more latharagic and then becomes hyper in spurts. she

shares her legs hurt and or need of deep pressure and I to think it

might be more her impaction is putting pressure on the nerves of her

legs and causing this sensation she finds extrememly annoying. when

ever she complains of things i to ask of her when she had of a bowel

movement last? this is of to help of increase of her awareness of

body signals for her to read for her own self.

Why do doctors shoot up our kids with neurotoxins, insisting it's

safe? Why do thy prescribe anti-psychotics like Risperdal, which can

cause permanent neurological damage? Because that's a risk THEY are

willing to take with OUR kids. In their eyes, most people do fine,

so they prescribe them.

Is this severe constipation very common in girls with autism? My 10

year old (HFA) has been constipated since started table food at 14

months. During the past 9+ years, she has had maybe 2 or 3 weeks of

normal bowel function. I am very interested in this topic.

She has had some success with miralax, but always seems to get to the

point of being able to detect it in her drink or her food. Then she

will not eat or drink that item again for many months. It is also

tricky to get the dosage just right.

What I have found to work best is to always make sure she has plenty of

fruit. If she will eat between 3 and 5 servings of fruit a day, she

will have soft poops. If she goes a few days without sufficient fruit,

she will begin having problems.

Another food item that helps her poop is old fashioned popcorn cooked

on top of the stove. Not sure that microwave popcorn would do the same.

I cook it in olive oil and it almost always has a good effect on her.

A dietary approach works best for us, at least during this stage of her

life. I am interested in what others have found.

[Guest guest]

My son had a lot of constipation issues and I did not think it was right to keep

him on Miralax. Our GI doctor told us to keep him on as long as he needed. But,

I did not agree with GI I put Noah on fish oil for his speech but we noticed a

huge difference in his bowls as well.

Yes, and not just in the girls. Many times, an underlying cause of

chronic constipation is gut dysbiosis, particularly Candida yeast

overgrowth. Eliminating yeast overgrowth can go a long way toward

alleviating chronic constipation. GSE, oregano oil, caprylic acid,

enzymes, probiotics....just a few ways to control yeast. Once I got

my daughter's gut under control, all she needs is her healthy diet

and maintenance supplements top keep her regular.

[Guest guest]

Yes, sensory issues can be part of it, too. It used to be like my

daughter was in labor until I treated the underlying causes. Masking

the problems with harsh chemicals is never the answer, though it's an

easy solution for doctors who simply treat symtoms rather than taking

the time to look for underlying causes.

You should never feel terrible....you didn't know. But now you do,

and now you can take a proactive approach to making elimination an

easier experience for both of you.

My daughter also had constipation since she went on whole milk at 12

months, up until about a year ago, she is 9. We had eliminated dairy

long ago. We did food allergy IGG testing with blood samples. She came

up with banana and peanut butter allergies (not severe) that we were

not aware of and since those foods were eliminated she has been fine.

Pretty much cleared up over night. Many of her doctors don't agree with

this type of testing, but it worked for us. Recently she was on

antibiotics twice pretty close together and got constipated again. She

is now back to normal. She does get daily fish oil, but always has.

Oregano oil is great for yeast, including vaginal yeast issues. Miralax

was very harsh on her stomach and caused her stools to be so acidic

that it was even more painful than hard stools. Be careful.

Hi thanks for the info. I currently give her Vit.C crystals,

Pure Life Aloe Juice, Benifiber, Probiotics and a multi liquid vit. I

don't think this is enough by itself. Last night I gave her some Calm

(mag. cit.) I just don't know if this is enough to keep her going

regularly. I'm always worried she is not going enough. How many days

in a row do you think I should add the mag.cit. and how much do you

think I should give her?

Do you know why her stools may be green and they seem kind of hard?

Hi ,

Green stools can indicate bile content (bile is green). I wouldn't be

as concerned about that, but you do want to get the stools softer. I

would also treat for yeast (see previous post abput that) and increse

vitamin C and mag citrate to bowel tolerance. The body knows how

much it needs. Keep increasing both until the stools are softer. My

daughter often requires 5000 mg or more vitamin C and 5 g or more

magnesium.

After reading the information you have written about Miralax I have decided

to take my daughter off of it. I went to the health food store and they

recommended Gillham's Natural Vitality " CALM " . The ingredients are as

follows: A highly absorbable proprietary blend of Magnesium Citrate in ionic

form,

Stevia and Natural Lemon Flavor. Do you know anything about this product?

formula without the stevia or lemon flavors, but in general those

don't cause any problems for most people. There are other flavors as

well. I would start with one teaspoon, and then work your way up to

an appropriate dose that loosens the stools, but not to the point of

diarrhea. This will vary from person to person and depend on many

factors.

Yes, I've recommended Natural Calm many times and use the original

formula without the stevia or lemon flavors, but in general those

don't cause any problems for most people. There are other flavors as

well. I would start with one teaspoon, and then work your way up to

an appropriate dose that loosens the stools, but not to the point of

diarrhea. This will vary from person to person and depend on many

factors.
