My daughter has had severe constipation for years (she's 13), it's caused a LOT of pain.
She's on two capfuls of miralax a day, but sometimes it stops working, we've got no clue why, so she goes up to five caps a day if she feels backed up.
If that doesnt work she does two enemas, two suppositories, and 8 caps a day of miralax. no fun.
She has some pain when everything's going normally, but it's more when she's backed up.
Bloodwork/endo/colonoscopy were all normal.
One doctor says IBS, the other says constipation, but niether of them have done anything more than the miralax regiman. Is there anything else we can do?? Also, why does the miralax randomly stop working?
Thanks!
