Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 My child is in a new school this year because she has moved up to middle school. I think people still have a huge misunderstanding of gut/constipation/autism symptoms. I had a long conversation with the parapro today because she needed to ask about some self care issues. Well, she asked many questions and some were about the gluten /dairy free diet and some where about if she's on laxatives, etc. Well, her advice was to use Miralax because there are NO symptoms or side effects !!! I had to tell her that there are other problems with miralax and it took quite a lot to quit that drug and get her to go with other methods. She also said it's too bad that she can't eat dairy due to how healthy it is !!! I don't want to say too much because I seem to be always pegged as the " different" mom and most people don't agree with my opinions on my daughters autism and health issues. Can anyone forward me some good info. without too much detail on the problems with miralax and also some info. on being gluten and dairy free. Just so the teacher and aide can understand. I get sick of people thinking they know more about my child's health than me, although I know she meant well !!! Thanks in advance, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
