WHEN YOU JOIN, you will need to type WHY you want to join. This extra step is to prevent 'spammers' from joining. This board produces a lot of messages. I suggest that you choose the WebOnly option,or Daily Digest.

This board originated as a board for those who have had, or their children have had significant adverse reactions/events after starting Miralax, Movicol, or Glycolax or storebrand PEG 3350 such as ClearLax. A few examples would include the onset of tremors, tics, changes in personality, etc. I have been in contact with others who have had adverse reactions to this product and decided to create a forum so that individual and families can post their experience here. If you wish to do so, you may submit your experience (it can be done anonymously if that's what you prefer) to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting System. Here is their link:

Over time, this group has also become a place where members have come to find out more about constipation and alternatives. While this group is intended as a support forum, members can freely discuss aspects of health relating to constipation. Members should not take any information from this group as medical advice or facts. If you want or need medical advice, you should seek it from a proper medical health care professional. You are responsible for your own healthcare and any decisions you make.

Please, no advertising for pharmacy websites or pharmacy services, or websites related to general pharmaceuticals. All Files and Links and Messages perceived as advertisements will be deleted. Listmates can, however, mention books/products/supplements that they use by name/brand name, and ask for feedback about pharmaceutical prescriptions by name. That type of sharing is not considered advertising. Sharing of personal experiences is what helps us all learn more about solving the puzzle of our own/our child's constipation issues.
