Re: [SBAofNC] Bowel Management?


Marie,

My daughter Emily is 4 yrs. old now. She's taking Glycolax everyday(same thing
as Miralax) and it works pretty good on her, we also let her drink a lot of
water, and she eats more foods with a lot of fibers. Hope this helps!

she was treated for a UTI. NOw she has watery loose stools. I haven't
given any miralax once this started, but now I'm concerned about the
smelly watery stools. The nurse I talked to on the phone thinks she
might be impacted so I gave an enema, but 2.5 hours later still no
bowel movement and for the most part she is still acting like she is
fine and doesn't seem to be in pain.

What have you found to work with bowel management? It is so hard since
she can't tell me what her tummy is feeling like. . .

Thanks.
Marie

Thanks for the help. She was an antibiotic for a UTI. I'm glad to hear that it does take a while to get things back to normal. My little girl is going to...
