Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi there, I have lurked here occasionally, but never posted. My 5 year old son has been on Miralax for over a year. He has always suffered from constipation and would go when his intestines were very full, so we would get large " presents " every few days. Last winter he got a serious intestinal bacteria and became quite ill- he was dehydrated and ended up inthe ER twice in two weeks. He became severely impacted (the hospital called it " impressive " LOL ;-) Anyway, since then he has been on Miralax- we were at a capful for quite awhile, and I have gotten him down to 1/2 capful daily. We have really upped his fresh fruits and veggies- lots of water, and are trying to get him off Miralax. He also gets olive oil, flax seed, pro- biotic. I have recently started giving him MOM 2 tsp/ day. Any other ideas would also be appreciated! He has become more stimmy than he has been in quite awhile,has more difficulty focusing, more easily distracted, increased difficulty with transitions, more whiny when he doesn't get his way. Has anyone seen anything like this before? TIA, Janet I am currently giving him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
