Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'd be glad to send you mine.........I wish you would help us in this fight about the extended gut................it's never alright if it's one child, but yes, this is what I'm talking about...........the same side affects, they are all expiereincing, the bloated gut, after the miralax, they blame on the child, not the miralax.................See, they can say this because the are constipated and they can blame it on the constipation...............I think we should show pictures, without the face..........like Wakefield showed in his studies................that there was something medically wrong with each child........jhud2 wrote: Her belly is so big she can't even wear normal pants. Only elastic waist and no jeans. She was bloated on Miralax too but thought that would get better. She's having a BM about every other day, which is pretty good, but daily would be better. She's on lactulose and mag. citrate ( about 600 mg daily). Yes, I'm thrilled about the NO MIRALAX, thought she would never get off it !!! She took one capful daily starting at age 5 and around age 8 she stopped making progress and actually has more problems now. I wonder what she would be like today if we did not use that awful stuff............................ Yeah, I'm hoping to get a juicer soon to help detox myself with fruits and veggies and maybe loose some weight too. Kathy Re: distended belly, etc. Distended belly is stool/gas!! Sounds like possibly mobility issue!! I say this due to you mentioned her belly is flattened when you do the enemas! She may not be moving fast enough. What about gas drops/pills to help with the bloating(gastro said they are safe and actually loosen stool). I dont use but rarely, still leary of possible affects I dont know about. I well occaisionally give to my son with his food. Sounds like you need to add something to help things move along faster. What are you using? I am curious what has worked for you!! CONGRATULATIONS on the No miralax. Dont give up. We are on our second day without NO miralax(have weened from 2 adult doses, trouble with the last little bit), and so far, going good(aloe vera).

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Our son only wears elastic pants also. One day, 2 sizes bigger next day back to smaller etc. We found that when our son just couldnt seem to stop the bloating no matter what, even with supplementing and movements, we resort to the liquid mag citrate in gram form. Isnt fun or easy to get in but it really works on the non stop bloating. We typically only need to do when he has been on antibiotics(this seems to cause the non stop bloating/problems) and just seems to be not much that well quite get him back to somewhat good. Has she ever had a complete cleanout? It almost sounds possible that she has never really had a complete movement? Jennie wrote: Her belly is so big she can't even wear normal pants.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 have you guys tried nux vomica for the bloating/distended belly? it's a homeopathic remedy (borion, 30 c) that helps with full bellies. when my son (and me from overeating - holidays and such) has a distended belly, we give him this and he passes gas all day and night. he loves it, since he's such a guy!! usually in a few hours, he's feeling better. i get them at our co-op for around $7 per vile, 5 pellets every 15 minutes til feeling better (3 dose limit). the one vile has lasted about a year.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Yes, he was! Just 3rd day miralax free!! Bloating is caused I believe from any form of intestinal distress. The miralax did cause this also(bloating). His severe bloating started the night of his vac reaction(gi damage)! The bloating has lessoned greatly with better running gi.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Someone on the low oxalates list recommended glutamine for distended bellies. But I haven't tried it...we have been thinking about it because my DD also has this problem...she often looks pregnant and won't wear pants at all, only dresses, thank you...though oddly enough, for her, the only dresses rule started when the distension cleared up briefly. Suddenly she was afraid all her pants would fall down. Bonnie Hi group, Abby has been off miralax for about 3 months, after being on it for 7 years.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks Bonnie, will look into glutamine. Yeah, Abby looks abnormal most of the time, and she goes around rubbing her belly like she is constantly having stomach pain. Today I massaged her stomach and gave her an enema and she got a little relief but still she's distended. Does anyone know about colon cleanse and if that is safe for our kids???
