Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Max was having a lot of constipation issues (and apparently many other CHARGErs do too) and his doctor recently put him on Miralax. And it is WONDERFUL! I highly recommend it. It keeps him very regular and everything moving right along...yay! Just thought I'd share with everyone...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Miralax is indeed great, but it is not perfect. Be on the lookout as your child gets older for bouts of diarrhea and the need to always be aware of changing the dose for a day or more. I hate that (22) will always be dependent on bowel meds,but the constipation, as you know, is even worse. Just remember to be watchful. I never thought that I (as well as her staff) woud have to maintain bowel logs, but they've been necessary in guiding us all. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Martha- Thanks for the tip! In curing one problem we often create another. Good to remember not to get into a false sense of security like I can stop thinking about a problem because I think I've " fixed it " .

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I can echo what Martha said. Both my non-CHARGE son Max (3 yrs old) and my Charger Felix (10 months) are on Miralax. Max has been on it for two years and after awhile, you do need to really watch their BM patterns. Without ever changing the dose, we can go from regular to constipated for two days to three days of constant diarrhea. It is great, but if you are on it for the long term, it starts to act funny on you. Just my experience... in MA > > Miralax is indeed great, but it is not perfect.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi, too has had constipation problems. It has been bad enough in the past that he was hospitalized a couple of times because of it. He has been on the Miralax for a couple of years now. It has helped allot. mom to (31) > > Max was having a lot of constipation issues (and apparently many other CHARGErs do too) and his doctor recently put him on Miralax. And it is WONDERFUL!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I want to echo the advice of monitoring. 's dose can flucuate depending on BMs. Sometime he will go off it for a couple of days when needed. mom to (31) > > > > Miralax is indeed great, but it is not perfect.
