Re: x-ray shows full of (soft) poop

She may have a condition called ileus, which is one of the adverse effects reported for Miralax. You could have her tested for it. To: miralax Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 7:02 PM Subject: x-ray shows full of (soft) poop

My 4 yr old DD has been off Miralax for 2 months now. I feel its been going pretty well, she poops once a day and they were very rocky and now finally softer. Once in a while she skips a day but usually goes quite a bit the next day. But yesterday she went 3 or 4 times and it got stinkier & more liquidy each time. She has shown no other sign of illness so I was concerned that she might have a blockage so I took her to her pediatrician. He did an ex-ray which thankfully showed no hard poop, but it did show that she is completely FULL of soft poop all the way back to her stomach. Therefore he wanted her to go back on Miralax to get cleaned out to which I absolutely refused. I don't even think that makes sense in this instance anyways! So he prescribed lactulose / enulose. He said it doesn't contain PEG. Is that a good alternative in this case? Is there anything else we can do to help her fully empty her bowels? I truly don't even think she

can feel there is more in there. She seems to try very hard to push it out (till she's red in the face) and she will get hardly anything out. It just makes me wonder if there are more medical issues working against her. Or if her intestines are just so damaged from the 10 mos she was on Miralax.

you know this is what makes me come out of my skin, it didn't work the first time so they tell you to continue even though it's not coming out and backed up to her stomach............what are these people thinking? What you could be seeing is a side effect we've found on the FDA adverse reactions called ileus which can be caused by chemicals which causes a parylytic condition of he bowels. Or puts the bowels to sleep, therefore they couldn't go if they wanted to......................how sadhttp://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=7886 To: miralax Sent: Fri, March 16, 2012 6:13:23 PMSubject: RE: x-ray shows full of (soft) poop

Hi Sara We are using this for my one son who still can not have daily bowel movements ~ Oxy Powder. Here is a link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Global-Healing-Oxy-Powder-Colon-Cleanse/dp/B000FVM8C2/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps & ie=UTF8 & qid=1331939172 & sr=1-1-catcor It magnesium and very safe. I start with one. The first time he went with just one. Right now he has not gone in 2 days so I started yesterday morning with one and later in the afternoon he still did not go so I gave him another and another 2 today so far. I am praying he goes tonight! I have heard of many people using this for this reason. It totally cleans out the colon. I hope this helps. We recently changed to

new probiotics that are very different and help to heal the gut and get parasites, fungus, and gut viruses and bacteria out. Its called Body Biotics. I hope this can help. To: miralax From: sarajane.cornell@...Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:02:40 +0000Subject: x-ray shows full of (soft) poop
