My 8 yro son took miralax for 10 days for his constipation. He stopped taking it 2 days ago and is still having very loose bowel movements almost hourly. How long will this continue? I'm at my wits end, his bottom is getting very sore.

Re: Pablo (# 19)
Mirilax issues; I didn't get feedback from my initial entry.
I worry about being too far from a bathroom because of this stuff. After a hemoroid repair I was told by the PA to take a full dose (capful) daily. Subsequent BM were not exactly loose, but soft, and I was having to go with very little warning and unable to hold it! After the PA didn't pay any mind to my concerns, I reduced the Miralax to 1 tsp & 1 tsp Metamucil daily. This just extends BM from about every other day to about 3-5 day, and I still have run to the bathroom desperately, as it is nearly impossible to hold it.

I was put on this to clean me out for a colonoscopy. I took 238 gr and nothing happened so i took another 238 gr two days later with 3.5 days of clear liquid diet.
I don't feel like myself, my energy level is down and I wonder how long till this is out of my system.

Re: Frustrated (# 3)
You just added to the pool of people who commented but didn't answer the question being asked. Maybe you should take your own advice of "If you can't answer the questions that people ask then don't comment".

Re: Silvis (# 13)
ONLY drink it if a Dr tells you! You are way too young to take it without Dr orders.

I tried Miralax for chronic constipation today and still feel nauseated hours later. Does this side effect subside, and if so, when?

That terrifies me! I just took it for 3 consecutive days and it started to work but at the same time it was taking away the effects of my antibiotic anxiety medication... I quit taken the Miralax and it took 3 days for me to get my sanity back. I had no idea Miralax was making me feel like I was going crazy. It's like coming off of an anti depressant.... if I need relief I will start using enemas.
