Customer Reviews of Miralax 30 Day
Customer Review: Helped my 12 year old son
Summary: 5 Stars
My son became severely stopped up and constipated following tonsil surgery, likely due to two weeks on Lortab (vicodin). It went on for months and months, with me trying everything I knew, plus going to see various practitioners - nutritionists, colonics, Chinese medicine, etc. Then out of desparation - hard-core laxatives. They did not work. I was avoiding taking him to a gastroenterologist as I thought the only thing they would do was make him drink that horrible colonoscopy stuff and I couldn't imagine it happening. I finally realized I was out of options, and took him to the Children's Hospital Gastroenterology department in Denver. The MD we saw recommended doing a "Miralax clean-out" over a couple of days, and then using a daily amount of Miralax for several months. I had previously tried Miralax with him, but I had been afraid to use too much of it, or on an ongoing basis. He spent a lot of time with us, did some blood tests to make sure there wasn't anything else going on, and was quite reassuring that he could get my kid back on track. Man, I was skeptical.
We did the clean-out, and have kept up with the Miralax. He is coming back to being regular. The dr. tells me that after a few months, his body will be able to take it back without the Miralax.
I have read that some kids don't react well to Miralax. I can believe that. It isn't what I would call natural. The dr.'s believe that it is not harmful. Now, I know better - a lot of things that we think aren't harmful turn out to be just that. For me it's a tradeoff. There may well be a consequence for long-term Miralax usage. The dr we saw said that in 99% of the cases, it works out well. I had to take the risk. I was afraid my son was going to waste away. In our case, it turned my son's life completely back around. He had lost 20% of his body weight since his surgery, he wasn't really eating at all, and he was just....depressed. The Miralax has given him his life back. He does not seem to experience any negative side effects. I'm not sure how we would have gotten here without it, so I am quite grateful for it. He has slowly started to let go of his fear and start eating again, which has brought much relief for this mom. I have never been so worried about a kid.
Everything has a tradeoff, and every body is different. You are doing the right thing if you educate yourself and knowingly take on the possible risks, which seem to affect a minority of the users. And I learned something - I wasn't giving Western medicine enough credit for having learned more than they knew when I was a kid.The first week or so, you or your child will feel bloated, but that passes.
Good luck to anyone dealing with this problem -- I have empathy for you and your situation.
