Guest guest Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm at a loss and just don't know what to do. My DD is currently taking: Miralax, Ditropan and Terazosin for issues with constipation and bladder. She was dx'd with kidney reflux when 18 months old and at that time it was seen on the xray that she was severely constipated. She was started on Kondremul for about a year or so as well as some low dose antibiotics for the reflux. The kidney reflux has cleared, but now that she's 5 1/2 she has had many pee accidents a day, urine retention after she pees - hence the ditropan and Terazosin. She got wonderfully better for about 2 months, but docs don't want her on both meds and when we started to slow one of them down - she got worse. She's had an MRI to rule out thethered spine and she's have some more testing on the bladder in a few weeks. My concern (in addition to all the bladder stuff) is that the Gastroenterologist has had her on Miralax for many many months and said that she can stay on it for a lot longer. However, at the last appointment in October she said that she didn't need to see her anymore as she wasn't going to " chase the pictures " meaning the xrays. the constipation is making the bladder stuff worse - but what is the miralax making worse? I'm just not sure what to thinking anymore. In all of my " googling " on the subject - I came across a posting where someone mentioned this site. Any insights anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
