I empathize with the Miralax concern because I felt it too, but honestly, once I accepted that withholding and its impact was a medical issue (that yes, some people can manage with diet but in the same way I would accept medication for another issue if I couldn’t manage with diet) and we could treat it over an extended period, I felt way better about it. Also the scaremongering about Miralax and behavior doesn’t help but I’ve dug into the studies and am highly skeptical.

My 3.5 son has been on Miralax now for about 4 months after being pee trained and withholding poop for ages because he’s more comfortable, going regularly and achieving potty success, I can now believe the platitudes like “he won’t be in diapers in college.”
