, one needs to find the cause of the constipation. Could you possibly find a DAN or Wellness doc that's near you? They do stool samples to try to find the cause. Many of us try probiotics, and many try going gluten casien free for starters. There are many alternatives like, Kid Calm (magnesium), Ex-Lax, and Herblax by Shaklee. Please see the files section to review the fda adverse reactions. Ileus is a reported side effect on the FDA FOIA adverse events. Illeus is a paralytic condition of the bowels that we're wondering these children couldn't go if they wanted to after being on this medication. Wondering why they were looking for MS? if he's just constipated? Is it because of the behavior you're seeing. Please read the petition attached to get a

list of side effects we're asking the FDA to review. Remember, you can type in any topic and hit search mail for the archives section of the group. example, ileus, violent behavior, obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD, etc. Jeanie To: "miralax " <miralax >Sent: Tue, June 5, 2012 2:03:09 PMSubject: New to group

Is there any other possibility other than this Miralax!!!! Some background information, my son is 5 years old, has been on miralax for 2 years from his gastroenterologist. He was referred to him for constipation and difficulty having a bowel movement. When he did it was baseball sized and clay form. He would scream and vomit from the pain and straining. After days of fighting and arguing with my ex-husband and pediatrician that something was wrong, I was able to convince his pediatrician that something wasn't right and got the referral. The gastro dr had him start miralax at a full capful a day and then flex schedule it. It loosened

him up to the point where he couldn't hold it in to make it to the bathroom. He officially didn't stop wearing pull-ups until almost 4 years old and even now has accidents in his underwear. He has no sensation that he has to go, and I have to remind him everyday to "try". He gets extremely bloated and is often very fatigued, complains of his legs falling asleep, and that he has a headache. He is also very emotional. One minute hes a happy little kid, the next hes screaming in rage and anger and the next he cries for no reason. I have had his gastro dr test him for cystic fibrosis, allergies, and he's had several procedures to check his bowels for obstructions - all negative. The next tests were supposed to be a colonoscopy to check for polyps and MS, but my ex-husband threw a fit and had my son discharged from the office. I am at a complete loss. He is suppose to be starting school next year and we have to get this under control. I know at my house, he

eats a fiber rich diet and lots of fruits & veggies. I specifically buy high fiber snacks for him - making sure he is getting at least 10 grams a day. Its hard to say what really goes on at my ex-husband's house as we do not have a good relationship and unfortunately, our son suffers from it. Is there something I am missing? Deep down I know it is not "constipation". He even gets constipated on miralax! One time on it, he had a rectal prolapse! No one has answers for me and my ex-husband thinks I'm nuts that he's fine! HELP!!!!!
