Guest guest Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi - I just joined this group. My son has been on Miralax since he was 1 1/2. By chance, I mentioned to another yahoo group I belong to - that I am tired of his GI doctor just telling me to up his Miralax. He has a developmental disability - they really have no idea what, but he can walk, etc. So, I always ask his GI at Hopkins why isn't it getting better - he is very active! So, a friend on another group mentioned how the Cleveland Clinic recommends MOM instead of Miralax. So, I googled MOM vs. Miralax. I was horrified at at the side effects Miralax gives our kids. I am so angry I never looked into it before. When my son was younger, he would literally scream for a week. We thought it was the constipation, but now I am thinking it is the Miralax. He's 6 now, and he will stand at the toilet and tell me he can't get the pee out, but will have an accident 5 minutes later. He has mood swings- which I always assumed was because he has a neurological issues. He has slurred speech - sounds like he is drunk sometimes. and this all began when he was around 1 1/2 - 2. His PT at the time thought he was just entering the terrible twos phase, because before he was always happy and easygoing. Now after reading the posts here, I switched to MOM Bree days ago. He has one large BM, but no pee accidents! I would like to know what I can give him to get Miralax out of his system. I read lemonade...any lemonade or real lemonade? Thanks Joanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
