The Joys of Miralax

X: (in the bathroom) Mom! I didn't go potty and I didn't poop, but you need to wipe my bottom!

X: N! You need to see my poop!
N: (shaking his head) That's not good.

X is on a half cap of Miralax a day. I can't stand that stuff. X has nausea and vomiting that is related to how often and how much he poops. The Miralax works too well with him and also makes him nauseated. Either way he doesn't eat. It's a frustrating cycle. Without the Miralax he eventually gets really backed up. With the Miralax he does better for a couple days, but then ha has other problems. Personally, I feel a large part (if not all) of the reason he won't eat has something to do with his colon. He was going to have a test done with the lower part of his colon, but part of the equipment they use has latex, so that was scrapped. We have a follow up the first week in Sept. hopefully we can come up with a new plan. I am also starting to research natural ways to help keep things moving along. Until I find something else, I hope we can find a balance with the Miralax.
