Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Make sure you are drinking enough liquid. If you are dehydrated everything gets hard and cant pass thru. At least 8 glasses a day and probably more til you get back on track. Try a suppository to get things started without the laxitive. Or perhaps even a small enema might work.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 They make miralax over the counter now. Maybe a small dose every other day would help.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 For our son, we've had great luck using Miralax and Benefiber - both dissolve completely in water; we use sugar-free koolaid. He takes this daily and if he has days that he just can't use the restroom, we increase the dosage just a touch and it seems to help! Sharon Re: CONSTIPATION They make miralax over the counter now.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have been to the emergency room many times to find out the kids are backed up. Miralax is wonderful since it dissolves in any drink and has no taste whatsoever. Joyce HELLO, HOPE ALL IS WELL!!!! DOES ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR CONSTIPATION OTHER THAN PRUNE STUFF?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Miralax works!! if it is a consistent problem, I suggest you go see a good Pediatric Gastroenterologist such as Dr. in Boca he is excellent. One of my sons has this problem and he was diagnosed with Encopresis he is now receiving treatment for this condition. Hang in There!

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Magnesium Citrate, the vitamin C that comes buffered and powdered. I can't remember the name right now but you can get it at Whole Foods and it's in a little jar. Magnesium Citrate comes in a bottle and can be purchased at Publix with all the other laxatives/fiber stuff. You can mix it with juice and either of these will work rather quickly, within a couple hours. We went through a phase where we had to give either or both just for maintenance.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have been giving my son miralax for a couple of years. We put a half a capful in his drink in the morning and it has been wonderful.
