More about clean outs.....

[Guest guest]

Me again..........Just wondering if you could all share ways that your

docs have suggested clean outs...other than miralax. Someone said MOM,

I was wondering what else is out there and are there ways to flush

everything out (toxins and stuck on stuff) as well as cleanse the

digestive track. Not sure how this all works. And am looking for others

experiences and advice. I feel that Halle (3.5 yr old daughter) needs

to be cleaned out like the GI doc said. But I really don't feel

comfortable with such a high dose of Miralax (or Miralax at all). Any

comments and/or stories would be wonderful.

I do not know how safe this is but Cody had to be cleaned out for a colonoscopy and after reacting to the Miralax, we were instructed to buy magnesium citrate at Walgreen's (less than $3.00). We got the grape. He has only used it that one time. It worked very well. I have no intentions of ever using it again unless nothing else will work and if it has been numerous days. It worked very fast. Considering it is a drug I really don't recommend it, unless it is just that urgent.

Deanna,

Fort Worth, TexasMom to Cody age 10. Diagnosed w/EE on 2/6/08. Also severe reaction to Miralax.

Another option is Oxypowder (also has magnesium in it, but a different form). If you Google on Oxypowder you'll find it. Bonnie

Along the same line, we've been using OxyCleanse - it has magnesium

peroxide and vitamin C.

I give DS (3.5 yrs, ~35lb) one capsule of OxyCleanse (173mg magnesium)

and two to three Kirkman magnesium glycinate (50mg magnesium per

capsule) currently. This is our " maintenance " for now.

To get him through near impaction (impaction..?), I gave him (per day

for several days) - 2 capsules of OxyCleanse, 1 or 2 senna plus stool

softener tablets, and a ton of fluids - whatever I can get him to

drink (drinking contests and/or two or three straws in water seems to

inspire a lot of drinking, etc.) Once he got going (cleared out a

bunch of firm stools (astounding amounts, really), I started on the

" maintenance " mentioned above. He is now going almost daily (e.g.,

he's had a bm on 3 of the last 4 days, " knock-on-wood " ...I'm sure I'm

jinxing us right now!...). Sometimes there still are

some very dark and hard pieces of stool that come out with the more

" normal " colored/texture stool. So I am guessing there's still some

cleansing going on in his GI tract.
