New to the group would like some advice

[Guest guest]

Hi I just found this group not too long ago and am so glad i did I have two boys

almost 9 and the other almost 6 both have been on mirilax for years the oldest

has been on it almost his whole life both have had constipation issues since

birth and the oldest acctually had to have a manual disempactment dec 2010 he

had a feces the size of a football inside of him. I just recently became aware

of mirilax having any bad side effects because i acctually believe my doctors

when they all kept telling me it was safe for the kids to take. and after

reading alot of posts i think i may know whats wrong with my oldest this year he

has become very angry tons of outburts complains of joint pains headaches and

acts out in school horribly but after reading other posts it could be a side

effect from the mirilax right? what my question is what would you recommend to

start using i tried aloe juice they wont drink it a nutritionist told me to give

them kids fish oil they wont take it because of the taste i have cut them down

to only flavored water or plain water now trying to get as much water as

possible into them and have changed them from milk to almond milk. would love

any suggestions anyone has. Thank you!
