[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]

My older child held his poop, not because of a power struggle, but because he would forget to go to the bathroom when he needed to.  It resulted in hard poop.  Once you have hard poop in the lower part of your colon, it's difficult to pass, even if the poop in the upper part is soft.  Then it piles up and hardens.  My ped suggested a series of steps, which included a suppository, followed by Miralax.  After the constipation is resolved, you continue with high fiber foods.

Separate from that, my ped said that some kids just have harder poops than others, despite what they eat.  My daughter eats the healthiest of all my kids (TONS of fruit and veggies, and she drinks a lot of water), yet she's the most constipated of them all.[/quote]
