[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bitch we are talking about how to get a kid to drink miralax.

Constipation causes a lot of problems. Reflux happens to many "healthy" children. [/quote]

A child visiting a nephrologist is not healthy, sweet pea.[/quote]

A child who needs Miralax has a medical problem too.   Chronic constipation is a real medical issue.  [/quote]

A 3yo holding poop because of a power struggle doesn't have a medical problem. There's no need to flush your child with Gatorade for such reason.[/quote]

Strangely enough, I turn to my pediatrician for medical advice, not DCUM.  The OP's pediatrician has advised her that her child needs help with pooping, therefore I'm going to assume that there is a problem, one that is being treated with medication.  Gatorade may be part of the solution.

Furthermore, no one has suggested that she "flush" her child with Gatorade which implies huge quantities.  People have suggested giving her child one small glass of Gatorade a day in order to disguise the medication, and possibly help with any underlying low level dehydration that sometimes contributes to constipation.
