This board originated as a board for those who have had, or their children have had, significant adverse reactions to, or adverse events after starting Miralax or Glycolax. 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. I also encourage you to 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 what can be done about it. 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. 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 advertising or promoting 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 or promoting. Sharing of personal experiences is what helps us all learn more about solving the puzzle of our own/our child's constipation issues. WHEN YOU JOIN, YOU WILL NEED TO TELL WHY YOU WANT TO JOIN. Generic "I'm new"/"I want to join" comments WILL NOT BE APPROVED.

NOTE: This board generates a lot of messages. I suggest that you choose the Web Only option or Daily Digest rather than Individual Emails.
