[quote=Anonymous]My 6YO DD has been dealing with dirty underwear for 6 months.  The pediatrician said to give Miralax until it stops and if it doesn't stop to go to a GI Dr.  So the miralax worked after a month but then early summer it came back.  Called a pediatric gastro who couldn't see her until September.  Still doing the daily Miralax but it's been a month or two and while it's improved a lot, it's not great.  We increased fiber and emphasize the importance of fruits/veggies - she's generally a healthy eater.  Some days there are no issues and some days there are multiple accidents.  What can we do to help her in the meantime while we wait for this appointment?  I found someone mentioned the MOP theory but that seems tough (a daily enema?? I've never done one and don't know if she'd let me. I'm also nervous about doing that without a doctor's supervision/permission). I feel really bad that she is still experiencing this, especially because she doesn't tell us about it and is walking around with soiled underwear.  TIA. [/quote]
