Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 3 adult doses of miralax was prescribed to us for my 4 to and she had a seizure next day. Never had one before or since we stopped miralaxSent from my Verizon Wireless Phone----- Reply message -----Date: Fri, Feb 25, 2011 7:19 amSubject: colon cleanseTo: <miralax >I'm curious. How was the Miralax working for your child? When we have aconstipation issue, we turn to Miralax to relieve the constipation. We have been off of Miralax as a daily regimen for 4-5 months, but have notseen any change. (We're looking for weight gain, but we think we've foundthe culprit, which isn't GI related)We've been using Lactulose, and absolutely hate it. But we wanted to makesure Miralax wasn't causing any issues. I'm convinced that Miralax is safefor our child, but want to finish our 6 month experiment. Anyhow, when he gets constipated, we give him 3 adult doses of Miralax. Thatusually does the trick to get him cleared out. When we resume daily use of Miralax, it will be the 8.5 grams that wasworking so well for us last year. _____ From: miralax [mailto:miralax ] On Behalf Ofpatti@...Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 9:53 AMTo: miralax Subject: colon cleanse So, if you have tried everything and still feel your child is " full of poo " (even though they go on a semi regular basis), what can you use to clean outtheir system? I really feel I need to do this and start fresh with him. Iforgot to mention that he is also on a strong probiotic in addition to manysupplements like Vitamin C, Magnesium Citrate, etc. We tried many otherthings in the past such as Natural Calm, Fruit-eze & lots of fruit (prunesetc). We do now know he has a casein & yeast allergy so we're addressingthose issues. I don't see the daily Epsom salts baths helping. Anysuggestions?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi, Just curious as to why exactly you hate the lactulose so much? We have used it exclusively with our daughter and I am just wondering if I'm the only one who finds it pretty much useless :-/ Thank you, - Vicki I'm curious.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 test To: miralax Sent: Fri, February 25, 2011 8:17:10 AMSubject: colon cleanse The miralax helped but it's not something I want to give him on a regular basis (or even semi-regular basis). Even with the Miralax, he still wasn't going regularly. He takes a good probiotic from Kirkman twice a day (25 billion per capsule). Forgot to mention that even enemas aren't clearing him out. I believe there's significant blockage. I think I'll take him to the Pediatrician and have an x-ray done and then have the doc prescribe some sort of colon cleanse so we can start fresh.
