Does PEG degrade and convert to toxin in your GI tract?

[Guest guest]

Ok -- this requires a little stretching, but follow this please. They

found that miralax DOES degrade with certain bacteria.

in fact if you search pubmed you'll find more when you use the keywords

PEG and sludge -- yes the tests were with sewage sludge. As I read

the test results, it says that PEG was degraded into acetate and other

byproducts, but their conclusion was that it was " safe " . Hmmm

If I had a child with abnormal bactria like clostridia in their GI

tract, I would run from PEG as fast as I could.
