I have that problem from time to time.. After a round of oral Abx .

I use MiraLAX for a few days and it really helps.
About a month ago I was backed up to the point I was thinking
of going to the Doc or even the ER, But I thought I would give
it a try. The first night i released a lot of wind ,that made
me feel a little better , but after the second dose I started
going. I kept taking it for 5 days after and have been having
a normal BM everyday.

I mixed mine in Cold water and chugged it, but you can mix it
with Juice.
Good Luck

Ditto on the miralax. DS has been able to use milk of magnesia in the past when it first becomes an issue, but only because when he was a baby miralax wasn't OTC and milk of mag did the trick for him.

If you start getting sick or feeling excessive pain though, don't mess around with it. Contact your cf clinic.

Have a glass of water and a cap full of Miralax. Sometimes I will drink it two times a day if one glass doesn't do the trick.

P.S I add a bit touch of lemon or apple juice to the Miralax/water. Take the Miralax for a few days to keep things "moving".

I agree with Liza.... don't let it get out of hand.
