Re: My experiencies with Miralax

[Guest guest]

Hi. Recovery from the side effects of Miralax takes time. My daughter was put on it at 18.5 months, I got her off it at 25.5 months and it took her over a year to recover fully.One of the reported adverse side effects is a condition called paralytic illius where the drug can cause the natural motility of the digestive tract to stop working thereby causing constipation and making it nearly impossible for an individual to have a BM on their own without the aid of a laxative. Most choose to remain on Miralax or something similar. However, for those who are suffering from serious side-effects, that's not exactly an option.You may want to check out the "What worked for us" in the Files section

of this forum. Try taking probiotics and also drinking plum smart juice (this last has worked wonders for my daughter). Also, take some digestive enzymes. Fruits such as mango and papaya are naturally high in digestive enzymes. You can't overdose on those, so eat those as much as you can stomach. If the prune juice worked for you, these other ideas may work, too.I'm sure others on this forum will chime in with helpful hints, especially those who, like you, took Miralax long-term as adults.I wish you good luck and a swift track off the Miralax hamster wheel.Lillu To: miralax Sent: Thursday, August 2, 2012 1:41 PM Subject: My experiencies with Miralax

I am 56 year old female. After a traumatic divorce at the age of 43 I started to have a problem with BM. I was struggling on my own for a decade, it was getting worse. Finally I went do a dr. Without any hesitation or futher checkup, he recommended Miralax / Lax a Day here in Canada.

I am on Miralax for 2.5 years, daily dose 1 full cup plus, about 25 grams daily.

Lately I realized I developed some rapid heart beat, higher blood pressure,(in level of 130 /90 ) I am constantly nervous, have increased anxiety, I am constantly agitated, everything is irritating me. I have no patience at all, I am also losing my appetite. No appetie at all. My dr. thinks everything is in my head, since my blood work in January was ok.

There is shortage of family doctors in my area, noone is accepting new patients.

I am afraid that's all side effects of Miralax. My dr. doesn't think so, saying they give Miralax to children and that Miralax is safe for long term use. After reading posts on this web site, I do not think so.

I am afraid to take Miralax anymore, but have no BM without it. I tried old prune juice for last two days, it worked, giving me some sort of diarheea similar BM.

Anyone had similar experience with Miralax.

Did anyone stopped Miralax "cold turkey" after being on it for 2.5 years daily ? What did you use.

I eat everything "right". Bran with flax oil for breakfast, vegetable soup and some fish, chicken for lunch. A lots and lots of fruit, as cherries, kiwi, mango, peaches, also green salads. Drink about 2 liters of water daily, still no go without Miralax.

Any response is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I developed peripheral nerve damage (neuropathy) after 2 yrs of daily miralax advised by my doctor.  I am 56.  I stopped it in March cold turkey after various tests and procedures failed to find a cause for the neuropathy.  After I stopped taking it, my neuropathy symptoms began to improve immediately.  Still having some nerve problems, might be some permanent damage.  I'll never touch the stuff again!

Thank you very much for the answer. When you stopped cold turkey, what were you

using instead of Miralax?

Or did your bowels just worked on their own after such a long time on Miralax?

If you could please let me know. I am going to see my dr. next week, but I am

afraid he will just push me into using Miralax, as it was in January, when I

already expressed some of my concerns to him. Basically, he laughed at me, and

told me that everything is in my head.....All this stuff is taking over my

normal life, having it on my mind 24/7....

Thank you again.

Fortunately I didnt have a problem after stopping it.  I would tell him you're concerned and plan to stop it. I've learned my lesson about having blind trust in doctors.  I question every recommendation now. If he thinks its all in your head that's his problem, and nothing you do will change his mind anyway.

 

Thank you very much for the answer. When you stopped cold turkey, what were you using instead of Miralax?

http://www.shop-orthomolecular.com/store/DigestzymeV.html here's some digestive enzymes recommended for usTo: "miralax " <miralax >Sent: Thu, August 2, 2012 6:26:24 PMSubject: Re: Re: My experiencies with Miralax

Well, I hope that you no longer feel alone. People on this board will give you their opinion and advise you with what worked for them. If you believe that weaning is the best course of action for you, then try that. You may also try an elimination diet - take foods that may be constipating (and many types of foods that my not occur to you as constipating may actually be constipating) out of your diet. Eat ONLY foods that would normally help you go. Too much fiber can be too binding, so eat foods high in that in moderation. Completely remove all dairy and white anything from your diet. At the same time, take the probiotics (make sure they contain no dairy), digestive enzymes, fruits high in digestive enzymes, etc.I am sorry that your

doctor is such an uncaring turd, but these days, you have to be your own best advocate, and the internet can be a wonderful source of information. Use it to your advantage. There is a plethora of experience on this board so do not hesitate to ask questions. Someone will answer. Also, remember, it will take time to get your system back to normal. Don't give up too quickly, keep a journal of intake and output and keep tweaking your diet until you arrive at what works for you. To: miralax Sent: Thursday, August 2, 2012 4:12 PM Subject: Re: My experiencies with Miralax

So, right after you stopped it cold turkey, your bm were just normal, without taking anything else? Unfortunately, that's not my case, I was actually reading some posts where some people had success stopping in verly slowly, weaning off for several months...

So, why were you taking it in the first place? I took it, because I was constipated for a long time and was always struggling in that department - well for a good decade, right after a traumatic divorce, when my problem started.

I know, nothing is going to change his mind. I don't understand it and fell so alone with this my bm problem. I am ready to give up........it's no quality of life at all, constantly thinking about bm, I refuse to travel, goind on vacation, because I am just scared I won't be able to go....

Natural Calm is highly recommended by wellness practitioners, worked well for us too........To: miralax Sent: Thu, August 2, 2012 7:26:39 PMSubject: Re: My experiencies with Miralax

Thank you so much.

I actually have Natural Calm at home, bought it a while ago, but was afraid to take it, as I was reading it is hard on kidneys. But I am thinking about that.

Psyllium - I tried Metamucil for almost a year, did not work for me, I was constantly bloated, bloating it never went away, it did not help with BM. I drink faithfully 2 litres of plain water a day.

If you are talking about reducing Lax A day greadually, is it any regimen / procedure, how fast/slow should I reduce it. Go by days or weeks....I don't know at all.

As much as I would prefer to stop cold turkey, I am afraid it won't work that way for me, alough it worked for some people as I read.

If anyone has some positive experiences with stopping gradually, could you please let me know.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I will take some tonight.

I guess, I should start decreasing Miralax slowly, instead of quitting suddenly.

Even it's a poison to the body, I am afraid it would be too much of a shock to

my old system. So, I will start with 1 tsp of Natural Calm, plus my regular dose

of Miralax(as much as I hate to do that), since I did not take it for 2 days and

there is no much movement....in that department.

And tomorrow I will start taking 2 a day 1 tsp of natural calm a will decrease

slightly, perhaps by 2 tsp my daily dose of Miralax. Will try to keep it that

way for about 2 weeks, and will see.

I found it horrible, that we live in so called civilised and so developed and

modern countr,y, paying my health insurance for years and suddenly one is on his

own.

O no, I thought I just read some message where someone introduced Natural Calm

while taking MIralax......honest, I cannot see the light on the end of the

tunnel....

Perhaps I should just keep Miralax and whatever, but I feel literally sick just

taking it.

I cannot believe this is happening.

I am sorry I am such a whiner, there are many children suffering, and here, I

am, one old woman a making such an issue from my bm.

The fact is also I do not have any relatives here, except my husband, who is no

support, but, who wants to talk issues like this.

People openly talk about heart problems, about gallblader, lungs, but

elimination is a big no no. It seems to me, that in my surroundings everybody is

able to " go " , but me, .
