[quote=Anonymous] Once you get the X-ray back you'll have more information about how bad the blockage is. Don't expect there to be an overnight cure--it's going to take time to fix this problem. My son once had a partial bowel obstruction. As the previous poster said, he was so full of poop, that only a very little poop could get out. Miralax was a godsend. I think many people don't realize is that once the bowel is stretched out like that, it can be misshapen for months or years. So you have to stay on a really high fiber AND high water diet and use MiraLAX until the bowel can return to its normal shape. If you go off the Miralax before the bowel is normal, no amount of fiber and water can get the bowel back in shape. We used MiraLAX for daily for months and there were no negative side effects. I used miralax for years off and on if it seemed that he was getting constipated again. It is easier to fix a little problem in a big problem. [/quote]
