Guest guest Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 The point of this group is to relay information about the adverse effects our children and families have endured because of Miralax. These are things we, as adults, noticed after Miralax began. In some cases, the reactions reduced or cleared after Miralax was discontinued. There are no "claims." These are real stories from real people about real children. Hi Mickey, thanks for expanding on what I tried to say. I agree with everything you said. We need to be careful regarding what claims are made. > > I have to admit, I agree very much with bbrodley's post.
