Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Has anybody used this product for constipation? Our pedi gave us some samples but I've been hesitant to use it. Our uses Miralax (17g plus 1 tsp) daily. She only takes in about 16 oz of fluid daily. She's almost seven. She's lactose intollerant. The pedi also gave us samples of Eladil. She says it feels good on her face. She has had a rash that has bothered her a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Not sure about the Lactulose, but I was told you need alot of fluids with Miralax. (At Least 8 ounces at the time the Miralax is given.) We use Elidel alot on Grace for eczema. She gets rashes on her face and arms that nothing helps but the Elidel. We never have problems with insurance paying for it, so it is always in stock around here. Find files on your PC instantly with the new MSN Toolbar Suite beta – FREE!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 , We used it for Lucas at one time. It caused cramping I believe. Also it can deplete potassium so if used on a regular basis that should be monitored. Loriann --- wrote: > > > Has anybody used this product for constipation?

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Rod, The Miralax works for . She just keeps needing increases. Miralax also works by pulling fluid into the gut. You are supposed to have much larger fluid intake with both than has. Just don't know what to do. We have a GI. He doesn't think it's bad to keep going up on Miralax.
