Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi and everyone, usually the places that test for clostridium difficile and candida usually have a chart to show what it's immuned to and ways to treat it, miralax is not one of them, the gut will not work properly untill you treat it or at least give full spectrum probiotics to help the good bacteria over grow the bad. There are protocol's for killing the things you talked about. Our Doctor's call Miralax a "liquid plastic" and if your son has all the things listed below, I can't see how they could improve. If fact I have an article on this and according to the doctor's that wrote the article it states that "Miralax couldn't have caused a fatality UNLESS they had C-diff". see below: This article was in the BMJ titled "Fatal Disnaetremia caused by Elective Colonoscopy" and I'll repost it, you need to scroll down to rapid response's and click on Full Text to really dig into this info.........Therefore we as Mom's were all right, There IS Proof that if there are certain types of bacteria in the gut, that it can be fatal after ingesting, and or, absorb it..............I posted the links below and I'll forward the whole article, I've tried to contact 2 of the physician's that wrote this article and neither wanted to say much about the subject other that they did this study on elective colonoscopies................I even stressed the fact that they were giving this to children..... The two physician's were Ayus and P Saunders I contacted by phone and Saunder's by e-mail and it responed he was on vacation and never reponded twice........... I find it difficult to believe that intestinal secretion was the cause of the complications or deaths unless these patients had the unappreciated presence of gut mucosal ischaemia or bacterial infection such as C difficle. 1. Gastric lavage for major operations? G Fiddian-Green bmj.com/cgi/eletters/325/7366/674/b#25849, 27 Sep 2002 Competing interests: None declared haemorrhaging on the medical wards.

Pylori infection among other pathologies. Before that he was on Oxy-mag as laxative, but after having seen this gastro -trained in DAN protocol and specialized in autism-, we switched to Mirlax and added abx´s for H.Pylori treatment. Being on them my son looked calmer and better over all but not wow gains.After this round of abx My son started to get worse, agressive, bad mood, worse sleep patterns, etc, and recently he´s tested positive for clostridium difficile and candida albicans, on top of that this issue about miralax, he´s taking 6 ts daily and that makes get a bm every 3/5 days, that´s not really good.My son issue is lack of motility, his stools are not really hard even after 4+ days w/o bm´s, scope confirmed his lower esophagus sfinter was uncompetent. Older blood test revealed smooth muscle antibodies I´m not sure if this is related.I´d like to hear how parents with similar issues dealed with constipation.Has any one get good results with serotonine agonists? like 5-HT or antidepresants?Thank you all in advanceBuenos AiresArgentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
