Hey thanks for that info. I have been wondering if it works as well as the prune juice.

Detox?

Hello, I am new to the group and very thankful to have found you!!!My daughter is 4 1/2 and has struggled with constipation since 8 weeks old.She has been on Miralax 4 different times over the last two years. We suspected behavioral issues from the start but were told that she was acting out because it was making her poop and she did not like that. "Nothing gets absorbed so there is nothing in the Miralax that would make her behavior change." The last time she was on it I only lasted two doses before I just said NO!! The connection was so evident that I just knew regadless of what the Dr.'s said it was not good for her. It made poop but it made her crazy! Just not worth it!I could go on with our 4 year history but for now I just have a question.Have you experienced a detox period with the miralax? She was really getting pretty enjoyable (except for the fact that she was only having a BM every 5-6

days) before she had this last round of Miralax. Behavior calming down. It was about a year from the first time we gave it to her. I was out of resources that point and when Dr. #2 wanted us to use it I gave in against my better judgement. Now she has not had any since the beginning of February but we are still seeing some really out of control behavior - quick to anger, hitting, seems to enjoy being mean to little brother and just generally seems like she just can't control herself. Any other ideas or imput is always welcome... I really feel terrible that I have not been able to help her with this problem. I hate to see her in so much pain. It has prevented her from fully participating in activities and I know that as she becomes school age there is going to be more and more she would like to do....Thank you for any advice, Dawn
