Doc appt today

[Guest guest]

Ok, so my son is a few weeks away from 7. He has been diagnosed with Asperger's

and ADHD. Recently he's been having constipation and I didn't know it. For like

6 months he would casually mention his tummy hurts. I took him to the PCM 2

weeks ago and they took an x-ray. He's completely backed up. He still poops

everyday but I guess it's not enough. She told me to give him 17g 3 times a day

of miralax. Well since he's on the Feingold diet, I research everything before I

give it to him. That's how I came across this site.

The doctor gave us a referral to a GI. That GI appt was horrible. By now I was

anti miralax even though the GI doc kept pushing it. But he also gave me a long

list of high fiber fruits and veggies.

Today was suppose to be a follow up x-ray with the PCM to see if things have

moved along. It wasn't the same doctor I saw 2 weeks ago and asked about if I

had been giving him the miralax. I told her why I wasn't giving it to him and

explained the letter from the pharma manufacturer. I even read the letter to

her. She said that's a complete lie and that she had pediatric dosing right

there on the computer screen! I said this is coming right from the manufacturer

of this drug and you are calling them a liar?

I told her that we've been giving Natural calm (mag citrate), pro-biotics and

fish oil instead. She said just to use the maximum dose and we will see how that

goes. We are suppose to see her again in a month and the GI again in January.
