REMINDER NO LONG TERM STUDIES for effects on Miralax

[Guest guest]

I think it is worth mentioning again as a consumer, a nurse and a mother who

observed horrific side effects in her child that there are no guarantees to the

safety of Miralax/PEG.

I was personally told by my gastroenterologist who was a personal friend,

" Do not take this product more than a week. No one has any idea what the long

term effects might be. "

Shortly after a colonoscopy and large doses of Miralax I was diagnosed with

malignant hypertension. My Family practitioner, a friend and my neighbor who is

a cardiologist spent months trying to determine the cause of my unexplainable

Hypertension.

There is a correlation with increased BP after colonoscopies. I have spoken to a

handful of people who have personally experienced it.

(anecdotal yes...

Worthy of research?

I think so!)

No one makes the connection, because everyone assumes it is related to the aging

process.

I never thought I would have blood pressure issues in my lifetime.

Is this " substance induced hypertension "

Appears to be...

A child may

'appear well'

on the outside, HOWEVER major disruption to the internal homeostasis is suspect

with this drug!

Beware!

There are many safer alternatives.

Is it worth the risk?
