[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old has been constipated for almost a week. We started about 3/4ths of a capful of Miralax Tuesday night and have been upping his amounts of water each day. We did another capful of Miralax on Wednesday night. So far, he's not yet pooped. I'd always known Miralax to work in about 24-48 hours. Is it possible that we need to try something else, like a suppository? I'm going to call the pediatrician in the morning, but wanted to hear of others' experiences.[/quote] I would also be curious how much has he eaten? He may not be constipated. I would not start on the suppository route until you have confirmed with the doctor. [/quote]
