Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi Toni, Have you tried the mag cit from Nutricology, the ingredients are as follows with no mention of the PEG involved. Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate) 170 mg Other ingredients: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate. Dari: Hammes Kepada: mb12valtrex Dikirim: Sabtu, 12 November 2011 0:49Judul: Re: Re: My stupid STUPID mistake, was: yipppeeeeee!!! surfactant Doggone!! Thanks for this info Toni. I had miralax all ready to go for our little man since he just got his daily iron raised to 100 mg. This is a pretty high dose and Doc says add C ( you know what O says to that ) to avoid constipation. Hope the prunes will suffice! Sent from my iPhone No, we don't use Miralax. It is always highly recommended by doctorsbut it's a petroleum product and converts to oxalate and just perpetuatesmitochondrial dysfunction and constipation. There's a yahoo group dedicatedsolely to damage caused by miralax. :-( Thankfully one pitfall we have avoidedthough we have been the "victims" of others LOL Just last week had to return Mag Citrate we've been using for over a yearbecause I never noticed it has PEG in in (polyethylene glycol) same stuff in Miralaxthat is a problem. It's used as a nice glossy coating on the tablet, I'm sure,so minuscule amt per tab but we take a lot of it so... :-(We need to get the doc to write a compounded rx for ibu because the ibu liquid we havehas PEG (although it is dye free LOL) and I did find tablets that are dye free (YAY) but alsocoated with the PEG, like the mag citrate was. Whhhhhaaaaahhhh! ;-) Similar to that, same active ingredient plus electrolytes added. Has itnot worked for you (sorry )nxx> > > >> > > > I don't have a horse in this race.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Actually, yeah we do have that one, thank you! :-)The " problem " with this one is that I can't swallow big pills (not dysphagia, but I have lapband and these things get stuck)and I have to chew pills or open capsules. This particular magnesium tastes horrible. I mean it tastes like a chemical. Blech. :-( I give this one to my kids who swallow them, but I have to use the Solgar for myselfwhich has more ingredients but doesn't taste horrible (just chalky)Sadly, the Vitamin Shoppe one tastes the " best " - also chalky but not as bad as the Solgar one. I guess PEG tastes good. LOL !!! Hi Toni, Have you tried the mag cit from Nutricology, the ingredients are as follows with no mention of the PEG involved. Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate) 170 mg Other ingredients: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate. -- Toni------Mind like a steel trap...Rusty and illegal in 37 states.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Why aren't you using liquid mag cit? BTW, thank you for not using Miralax. There's a dad on one of my boards whose daughter's death was caused by it. Just google " miralax death " and you'll see the govt chart. > >>> > > > > >>> > > > I don't have a horse in this race.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Oh this is just for supplement. It's not for constipation :-)I do have the liquid walgreens crap on hand for constipation if we ever have that.Mostly we are pooping too freely here. LOLSorry to hear about the dad/daughter. :-( Why aren't you using liquid mag cit? BTW, thank you for not using Miralax. There's a dad on one of my boards whose daughter's death was caused by it. Just google " miralax death " and you'll see the govt chart. -- Toni------Mind like a steel trap...Rusty and illegal in 37 states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
