RE: using miralax for one month

[Guest guest]

I don’t want to alarm you, but if you’re daughter has autism,

you really need to get her off of Miralax ASAP. It’s been known to heighten

autism spectrum symptoms.

My almost 3-yr-old daughter uses the following products:

A chewable probiotic

Juice plus gummies

Pedia-lax fiber gummies

Benefiber mixed into her drinks (the unflavored kind)

Subject: using miralax for one month

Hello,

My daughter who is 4 years old has started taking Miralax after my mother in

law suggested she take it. She has been taking it for about a month, along with

Fibersure and Aloe Vera Juice. The Fiber sure (2 tsps a day) and aloe vera

juice (3 oz 3 times a day), but they did not work along.

My daughter has autism and it is very important that she have a daily BM to rid

her body of yeast, toxins, etc in order to get better. I saw her have bowel

movements most everyday with the Miralax, but I want to try other methods.

I am starting to increase her water intake, having her drink warm water in the

morning. I also want to increase her magnesium and Fibersure intake, but I need

real help on what has really helped others. Please, tell me what has helped and

in what amounts.

Due to yeast and bacteria in there systems, children with autism have a more

difficult time, but I am welling to try many different safe method to help her

have a BM everyday.

Thanks for any help, Sharon Larson

My son (26 months), who has Spina Bifida, has been on Miralax since April 09 and is doing very well. We have found that the best approach is to keep him from becoming constipated by using diet, Miralax (10 g / daily), and enemeez (once daily).

Because my son doesn't drink as much water as we would like, I am careful with the fiber. If you don't have enough water, fiber can have a negative effect, and can make the constipation worse.

How are you increasing the magnesium? If you are using a supplement, you need to be careful. While naturally occruing Mg doesn't really have an Upper Intake level, supplements do. For a child of 4, I read it might be as low as 110. Too much Magnesium supplemtn can lead to hypermagnesemia.

Refried beans are an excellent staple in my son's diet.

I have read many posts here from parents of children with autism condemning Miralax. I have read testimonials elsewhere from parents of children with autism praising Miralax.

I have looked very hard for the past year+ to find an alternative as effective as Miralax. I have not found anything that has the same effectiveness, and the alternatives all seem to have documented side effects.

How much Miralax is she taking?
