 Joyce,

All true. The malpractice use of Miralax by Doctors is when a child presents with encopresis with no formed stools, active withholding, and bypass diarrhea. Me for example at 7 years old. There is a large mass somewhere in the child's sigmoid section of the colon that is so hard, so dried out, so large that it ain't movin'! That has got to be removed before they can work on getting the child to have formed bowel movements again. Trying go get that mass to move with Miralax orally has one fallacy. No matter the size of dose there is not enough volume of liquid to expand the colon quickly and suddenly to make that mass move. The stomach and intestines string that liquid out and delivers it along the large intestines in too small and too slow of amounts to do a quick push on that mass. A large volume series of soapy slippery and rinse enemas will have a tremendously better chance of getting the mass out. I agree Miralax has it's place in getting daily formed poops. It is not good at removing a mass in an encopric child.
