Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hi Tracie....I've tried quite a few things... the 1st dr....prescribed ...miralax...we used only a couple times...because i had heard so much neg about it...and i know ALL drugs have side effects. the next dr. prescribed...lactulose which is a fake sugar....since he has down syndrome he is susceptible to diabetes we are avoiding sugar as much as possible ....so that is out i have used prune juice with apple juice...still pretty sweet...for my liking for him..and not great results because he is so lil he doesnt eat a lot of high fibre stuff...still baby pureed foods...veggies and protein formula is constipating and he is still on that so for now...i give him....liquid magnesium,essential fatty acids and acidophilus (children's formula) .....and a remedy..homeopathic called allium cepa...so far its pretty good...he was very badly constipated and was in extreme pain...he would sweat, turn blue, scream like cray and try to get away....not fun...as i'm sure u may know too...lately i just catch him on the floor playing with poop in his diaper...where as before he would go days and need suppositiories and have much suffering. i suggest ruling out any other problems...ie: hirchsprung and not really to self treat...many naturalpathic drs have great remedies that work... when connor is older...i'll be giving him special homemade stuff that a hospital would make that i worked at: bran flakes(1), applesauce(1) and prune juice(2) Also, When connor is about 2 or 3 ...i'll start giving him a wonderful drink called " fibergy " by usana...many clients of mine use it for constipation for their children that have spina bifida and have severe constipation as a result. how old is your child? If you or anyone else wants more info on that and how to order it ...let me know..I'll tell you how to get it at 10% less than wholesale./...you can mail order it. I used it for my daughter with spina bifida too...for a change we are giving her the magnesium too. i'll also make connor special cookies that are high fibre when he's old enough..it has been very challenging because he's so lil...diet makes such a big difference, there are many remedies that work..but a naturalpath is best for that decision because he /she would discuss all aspects of the child and help pick the best most suitable remdey for the individual child...connor tried calc carb, and a couple others ....so so results here are some sites with more info....if you dont have a naturalpath near by... http://www.hpathy.com/diseases/constipation1-symptoms-treatment-cure.asp http://www.truestarhealth.com/Notes/2215009.html http://digestive-disorders.health-cares.net/infant-constipation.php high fiber recipes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Healthy-Living/High-Fiber/Main.aspx gluten free and high fibre: http://www.high-fiber-health.com/gluten.html high fiber cookies; http://www.recipesource.com/special-diets/diabetic/00/rec0058.html http://www.naturesintentionsnaturopathy.com/indigestion/constipation.htm hope this help...i know it has been a real challenge for me with my son...even knowing what i know I'll be glad when he is older and i can get him to eat more high fiber foods and drink the fibergy. good luck! let me know what you end up doing!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yeah, I know lots of things can cause hair loss, but after reading up on the subject, nothing really hops out as being obvious. a > > > Hi everyone~ > > > > My nearly 2 year old daughter has been on Miralax > > for a couple of > > months, and just recently, we've noticed that her > > hair is thinning in > > one spot...and is getting worse. > > > > She sees her pediatrician in about a week, but I was > > wondering if > > anyone has experienced hair loss due to Miralax? > > > > Thanks, > > a > > > > > > «•´`•.(*•.¸(`•.¸ ¸.•´)¸.•*).•´`•» > «•´¨*•.¸¸.*¤~*SHEENA*~¤*.¸¸.•*¨`•» > «•´`•.(¸.•´(¸.•* *•.¸)`•.¸).•´`• > > Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane with All new Yahoo! > Mail: http://mrd.mail. <http://mrd.mail.yahoo.com/try_beta?.intl=ca> > yahoo.com/try_beta?.intl=ca > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I can't say I've seen this side affect from Miralax, I've been researching this for seven years, I'd look at the next in line..............your alternative meds. Also, do you spray your house with pesticides? Your lawn with weed killer? I once new a neighbor that said his dog's nose was deteriating from being allergic to grass, for most animals, it's their home, once you spray these chemicals on the lawn they become very toxic and you get symptoms of deteriation and sometimes hair loss. I'd look into your environment as well.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hi Sheena - Thanks for all the good information. We are doing all the same as you...we've looked into other many of the same issues, diets and alternative therapies. The difference is our son has a collapesed colon...we have to keep his stool soft and moving or it gets stuck and we end up in the emergency room. Which is where I think we'll be in the next few days unless something drastic happens...We work with a naturopath, but he only wants to give remedies - none of which have worked. We've probably tried over 100. My quest is to find something that keeps him going to the bathroom without messing up his brain (miralax). He's too great of a kid to have to deal with brain issues for the rest of his life - as are all of the children in this group.
