Wow, I really want to read all this - working today, but will get to it in the next couple of nights.

I found you through a search I was doing in preparation for a colonoscopy, which I have postponed, but am also with Empire State Consumer Project (http://empirestateconsumerproject.blogspot.com)- we have been in the news lately for finding arsenic in apple juice. We sent our results to Consumer Reports who did their own testing and published it this week. We petitioned the FDA for limits on arsenic in juices and they are finally looking at setting guidelines. We also work on heavy metals in toys and children's jewelry pesticides, and many other toxics issues. Judy Braiman, ESCP president was instrumental in getting the FDA take Rely tampons off the market when women were getting TSS from them in the 80's. Would it help at all if we filed a complaint with the FDA? I am so passionate about Miralax now after hearing what so many children are going through. I'm sure most of you have already filed complaints, but thought maybe it would help to compile all the adverse events into one letter and send it from our group if it would help move the FDA forward in any way. If things are already on course and their look at Miralax is progressing, that's great. I just wanted to offer if more help is needed. Carol

thank you for sharing that! Here they are..............you have to pay for the FOIA Freedom of Information Act, AERS reports. I've been studying this medication since 2001 and submitted every 6 months to begin my own study and the numbers went from 6 to 1,966 in 10 years. The cost is $55.00 and now went up to $65.00. The FDA also held a drug oversight board meeting on the side effects of PEG in pediatrics..........see enclosed 6 files + 1 drug oversight board meeting link. There is also an article titled fatal disnatremia caused by elective colonoscopy. 2 out of 3 adult patients died from an elective colonoscopy using PEG electrolyte solution. The author writes that the death and morbidity wouldn't have happened UNLESS they had the unappreciated presence of C-diff or escheria coli............this tells me they know something about if there's bad bacteria in the colon, that something can go very wrong, yet I haven't come across ONE individual that knows a thing about it. Below and attached is a decade of research I've spend to find out the truth about this medication b/c I knew something went REALLY WRONG upon giving this medication to my dd......................

I was just looking up Miralax on the FDA site again and they only show adult reports. Aren't there reports from the group too?

Do you know the results of the Drug Oversight Board meeting? I see it was in 2009. Carol

Ok, did read both of those - thought they were longer. Wonder why there is no test for renal issues before prescibing peg - I think my health survey asked if I had issues, but people may not know whether they do or not. I happened to have what I described as kidney pain and my dr still recommended it. Carol
