Strains of bacteria in your children's guts

[Guest guest]

I wonder if all of you who have had stool tests performed could just

quickly post what strains of bacteria were identified in your

children's stools. If we could compile a list of those strains found

in the GI tracts of the children who seemed to have adverse reactions

to Miralax, that might be helpful.

Also, it might be informative to know how long your child would go

between bowel movements while on Miralax/Golytely/other PEG compounds.

What was the dosage (amount and frequency) of Miralax you were giving?

Lastly, if you had any lab work (blood, maybe urine?) done to check for

metabolic acidosis, osmol gap, etc., while your child was taking

Miralax or related products? [Anyone happen to test for ethylene

glycol in the blood while on Miralax?? - that would be ideal and

provide proof positive of PEG breakdown (unless your child had also

ingested antifreeze.)]

best,
