There is a whole yahoo group dedicated to discussion of this drug: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/miralax/ There are lots of parents of ASD kids on the list, and lots of suggestions of how to get things moving without resorting to Miralax (magnesium, C, treating a deficient thyroid, etc.). For what it is worth, its chemical structure is similar to antifreeze, and a number of people develop tics and other icky stuff from it. I sure was glad to get my kid off of it.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I would do some further investigation before starting Miralax. Long-term use is a concern. I think there is even a Yahoo group out there with people who had bad experiences. Pamela " Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.
