Hi all,
My daughter has been having major on/off constipation issues for the past two months. The CF doctor put her on half a cap of Miralax a day indefinitely. Well, it is improved for most days, but she is still not the same and still has the straining occur. It is just horrible! She just plants her feet on the ground and moves from side to side in such pain groaning. I don't know what to do! I just don't think the Miralax is working, and that seems to be our clinic's solution. She was totally regular up until two months ago, and ever since she just hasn't gotten back to normal. Any suggestions? Have you tried any other medicines if Miralax just doesn't do the trick? I even did an enema on her tonight and it is just slowly coming out over time. Disgusting, and she is crying even more. Please help!
