Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hi All, My daughter is 3.5 years old. She has been constipated since she turn 1 but it got very bad when she turned 2. She was on and off of Miralax for almost a year until January when thing got so bad that her pediatrician decided to put her on Miralax permanently. My husband and I noticed some changes in her behavior. She seems hiper and she seems to have a hard time concentrating. We could not say this it because of the Miralax, it could be her age. I have always been concern about Miralax until last night finally went and looked at some information. Now I feel horrible, but I only did what the doctor told me, he said that is was safe and that goes right through the system. We took we off Miralax 3 days ago. I noticed her stool are getting harder and I need ideas. She always eat fruit and vegetables and we have a healthy diet but that did not help in the past. Her poop will get to hard that she will hold them for days and it was always a nightmare to get her to go potty. All that improve with Miralax but we do not want to continued that. She loves milk and dairy, we limit them but she still has 1 cup or 2 of milk each day. Here are some of my questions: - What is a good alternative for cows milk? - Dietary supplements that will help her bowel movements (e.g magnesium) - How long does it take for Miralax to get out of your system? Is there a way to accelerate this process? - Are the side effects of Miralax permanent? THANKS for your help. I feel so lucky to have found this gruop.
