Help! Ds Won't Take Miralax!

Recommended Posts

And his endoscopy is Tuesday! We started him on it today, along with the clear diet and he's pretty much refused it. He was supposed to have 3 doses at 4, 6 and 8 and I've barely got one in him. I'm going to call the doc tomorrow but thought I'd see if anyone else has any ideas.

DS only drinks milk and water usually. I tried the Miralax with juice and he refused it. Then I tried it with water but he's only had a small amount.

The clear diet is ok. He's eating lots of jello jigglers and popsicles. But he's starving. But the Miralax is just not happening...

what about mixing it in with a small amount of jello jiglers to eat and make sure you know which ones....... just a thought. I know my daughter did not do well with it either except later in milk...

Why a clear diet and miralax. My daughter was scoped and she just had to not eat anything after midnight?

Sorry I'm late to replying here.

The clear diet/miralax is standard here as far as I know. They were also checking for more than celiac, so that might have something to do with it.

Just in case anyone else ever has this problem...

When I talked to the doc, they had us try magnesium citrate, which also was refused (my kid is nothing if not consistent!). So then we had to try the ExLax chocolate squares. Needless to say, chocolate did the trick. The doc was worried it wouldn't clean him out enough, but she seemed happy enough after the procedure. Unfortunately he is still showing the effects of it - I shudder to think how the stronger stuff would have affected him.

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
