Guest guest Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 Good question! They gave him Miralax (powder you mix with juice, he likes it with apple juice), Colace 50 mg (half the adult dose), and milk of magnesia. It seems to be working, finally! It was the solumedrol IV steroid that he had in the hospital that plugged him up, we think, as he hasn't had an obstruction since he was born with one, so I'm wondering if the high dose prednisone he's on now will have the same effect. Might as well keep him on these meds for a while just in case, the gastroenterologist says. the other Becky Re: Ricky's home! Becky- Out of curiosity (because my stepdaughter gets at least one bowel blockage a year) what kind of meds did they give him for that? Thanks for the info. in advance.
