Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Dear Jenn Babies bodies are very resillient. The good news is you have her off the Miralax. My daughyter was on it for nearly 9 years and the new GI doc thingks she will be functional in 6 months so you can stop worrying about being ahorrible mom. On the contrary you are a brillinat mom because you found this yahoo group, like I did, and are better educated. My daughter is 92 pounds and I am giving her as much apple juice as she will drink in a day as well as giving her pint after pink of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. The poo will be dark because of the blueberry but that ok. The main thing is after you have done all the blood tests, stool tests and have ruled out IBD =Inflamator Bowel disesase and any other major issue you can simply through trial and not so much error anymore start getting the wee one to poo on a regular basis. My daugher was recently diagnosed with IBS Irritable bowel syndrome. The cause was MIRALAX among others and the main thing I needed was to know the CAUSE of the problem and not just trust that the doctors were doing to right thing. Afterall that are only PRACTICING medicine they never said they knew what they wre doing. I'm sorry I am a bit sour towards people who do not include parents as part of the team. Sorry for the long note but You are a jewel of a mom...keep it up Holly Subject: scary stuffTo: miralax Date: Friday, May 6, 2011, 11:11 AM I recently subscribed and have been reading all of the messages sent out. It completely freaks me out. My 11 month old daugter was on Miralax for about 2-3 months and I recently decided to take her off myself. I've started her on a probiotic and have found as long as I give her some homemade babyfood with lots of ruffage (no straining out the skins on her peas, blueberries, etc.) it seems to keep her going every day. I also stopped giving her yogurt and will try reintroducing once I know that the constipation is under control for awhile. Like I said, though, this reading is completely freaking me out and I'm so afraid I've done some sort of long-term damage to her! I KNEW I hated having her on Miralax, but I didn't realize just how bad it was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
