Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 It seems to me that many physicians today are in the profession just for the money, not because they are driven to help people. If the latter were true, instead of throwing chemicals at what ails us, they would first try to discern the cause. Had my DD's pediatrician done that for my daughter, my 4 year old wouldn't look today like she were three instead and she wouldn't have bald spots where hair should grow. And these are the issues apparent to the eye. I shudder to think what other damage Miralax could have done to her body that I cannot see.Sadly, it is left up to us, the patients/consumers to demand the best in products and services. Seems there is no one in our corner fighting Big Pharma and Corporations not to harm/poison/kill us.

My toothpaste did, I switched and hopefully my mouth sores will go away. Docusate Sodium has it, gravol has it. My shampoo has it. My body lotion has it. When I talked to my dentist about it he said it is a derivative of antifreeze and to have people ingest it sounds strange. Also the fact that it is stated all over the net (And Jeanie has posted) that studies have shown it does not absorb in non constipated people but it does in constipation. It is awful to me because non constipated people do not need it, other than colonoscopy preps. I saw they have not done stage 3 tests or tested in Children fully. How does this get prescribed so easy? It is just as bad as the anti-depressants that are prescribed, or the drugs for ADHD that are handed out so easily. I think doctors should be much more careful.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Rae, I think the little bit that's in the cosmetics and shampoo is minimal and within regulations but the smaller the molecule the easier it's absorbed. s baby shampoo has PEG 80. Point being that it's not approved for children, there's a letter in the files section by Nexgen stating to one of our members, NOT TO GIVE TO CHILDREN. This is why I come unglued when anyone mentions weaning them off..............

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 While on Miralax, my DD didn't gain an ounce (lost one, actually), didn't grow a centimeter, and her hair growth stopped.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 How can I get access to those FDA Adverse reactions sheets. I want to show them to my DD's pediatrician and I may need to have a urinalysis ordered for my DD to look for crystal oxalates and high phosphates and whatever else....
