Just placed my second order
I was giving these to my two children. One age 11 and the other age 8. My 11 year old has suffered from constipation for years from a very young age. Miralax prescribed by her ped was the worst thing I could have done to my child. She went from happy go lucky, confident, and optimistic to severely afraid of being alone and dying. She would have irrational fears of food and water. Her personality changed to that of a very fearful and panicked child. She was suffering from extreme anxiety and panic. Her ped pushed for a higher dose of Miralax stating it was all in her head and she was still backed up. Well she ended up in the hospital with severe dehydration and malnutrition. She was starving to death and she didn’t know why she was fearing food. All this at the age of 8! That is when I was convinced it was the Miralax! After stopping that poison that is PEG 3350, I have worked tirelessly to restore her gut health and keep her regular. Gut health is 100% linked to mental health! I have tried so many different kinds of children’s probiotics and these have so much more CFU’s than most, at a reasonable price! My 8 year old did not tolerate these very well as I believe the Xylitol in them caused her, stomach upset the next day, every time after taking one of these. My 11 year old who is the one that needs probiotics, hasn’t had any issues with these probiotics and has been having bowel movements every day. I will continue buying these probiotics since they work! And I’m still hopeful that my daughter’s mental and emotional issues caused my Miralax years ago will continue to dissipate. If they cause your child stomach upset, blame the Xylitol.
