Avatar n tn I was told after his surgery that the kidney, because of the damage would always present as hydronephrotic, just probably appear smaller and be less symptomatic as it was. He has been put on miralax and it seems that every time he shows pain in the kidney that there is also constipation present. You almost begin to wonder if the problem will ever completely be pain-free for our children.
Avatar f tn I had the same problem. My doc also prescribed miralax. Im already swamped with other meds, so I decided to go natural to reduce the constipation. Try eating brown (wheat) instead of white and lots of green veggies (greens, spinach). It has done wonders for me.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me to take miralax and to increase my water intake.
Avatar f tn The beginning of my pregnancy my OB said I could take miralax to help with constipation, but now that I am 37w4d is it safe to take? I don't want to take it if it's going to affect baby in any way.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had miralax?
408448 tn?1286883821 I have been having okay results since June with Miralax and Colace. A few weeks ago I began having what looks to be blood in the stool. I told my onc right away. She said do not worry. It is probably from a blood vessel bursting. Well, I tried not to worry, but it did not work! Could the Miralax be the trouble?
Avatar f tn I am 10wks preggo and was wondering if Miralax is safe to take for constipation during pregnancy....I am very constipated and have been drinking Metamucil 2 times a day without any effectiveness....my husband is a pharmacist and says that it is safe because it doesn't enter the bloodstream, but I do not want to take something unless I know that it is safe. I have seen where it is category c. Thanks for your help....
Avatar f tn I'm not showing (I'm 6 weeks), however, I find it extremely uncomfortable to sleep on my stomach. And talk about constipated! I'm scared to push for fear of doing some damage. What do you take our eat to help things flow naturally easy???
Avatar n tn Try Miralax its good.
Avatar f tn From the posts I read it seems that many were taking above the max dose 4000 mg of acetaminfen daily. Irreversable liver/kidney damage has always been a big concern to me which is why I never exceed the 4000 mg a day. I just had blood drawn yesterday & will nervously await the results. If they tell me my enzymes are higher it will be easier to quit. I think. Have any of you had any damage to liver/kidney damage as a result of your vicodin use?
Avatar n tn Told us to give him Miralax for a couple of days to relieve the bowel. He did take X-rays prior to, to see how much was backed up and how far up the intestines it was. X-ray showed pretty constipated. Did what the dr asked and they did another X-ray and it showed he was completely cleared of bowel both in the intestines and rectum area. Said it was okay to take him off the Miralax and go back to regular meals and activity. Soon after that appointment, he was again pooping in his pants.
Avatar n tn Hello Ursamere. As you probably know, we're not physicians here, but are happy to share our experiences with you so you can explore the ideas further with your diabetes team. I'm also a long-time DMer - about 35 years. 5.6 is an excellent a1c and as one who's not (yet) achieved an a1c under 6, I admire the work & discipline it takes to achieve that.
Avatar f tn About 10 minutes after waking up this morning, I got severe pain in my right lower abdomen. I did some googling and it all pointed to appendicitis or kidney stones. After 3 hours of endouring the pain I went to our local small town Urgent Care. They did blood and urine labs which all came back normal. They did a abdominal CT scan because they don't have a ultra sound machine. The only thing they said and showed me was solid white spots in my stool.
506791 tn?1439842983 Mild hyperthyroid (so we will restart the thyroid cream), 2 main liver numbers (1 a tick high, the other normal), 2 main kidney numbers (1 a tick high, the other normal) so no liver or kidney medicine right now and her blood counts looked good. Doc agrees with giving Teia the help that she will accept. Teia has had a good appetite today. Only 32 days until her 21st birthday.
Avatar f tn I just got bloodwork back saying my EFGR is 50 Has always been >60 I am embarrassed to say I don't even know if the old one was normal or not, no md ever said I had a kidney issue, I just finished 12 weeks of treatment and am undetected but now I am freaked out by these kidney numera I wrote my md but have not heard back yet Doesn't anyone know or understnad this, I am having trouble understanding what I read from google searches Thanks CH
Avatar f tn The only way to truly ease your mind is by being totally honest with him/her. I have liver damage and kidney damage due to drugs stage 2 liver stage 3 kidney.. if your liver were damaged and you had a flare your belly would be extended/pain upper right you would be lethargic/vomiting.. other symptoms but these being severe.. It is not fun and I would not wish it on anyone.. I contracted hep C from slamming and further continued the damage through pills/alcohol..
996946 tn?1503249112 Had every diagnosis from Hip Sarcoma to kidney failure. Simple lab test from our 3rd vet dismissed those possibilities. He had a fall last June, complete xrays. The vet then proceeded to give him 3 enemas thinking blockage. I was out of town during all of this in Alaska and my husband was caring for Aramis. The enemas may have helped a little and we proceeded with Laculose and finally Miralax. Neither has proved very beneficial.
Avatar n tn [1] Stage 2 Mild reduction in GFR (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2) with kidney damage. Kidney damage is defined as pathologic abnormalities or markers of damage, including abnormalities in blood or urine test or imaging studies.[1] Stage 3 Moderate reduction in GFR (30-59 mL/min/1.73 m2).[1] British guidelines distinguish between stage 3A (GFR 45-59) and stage 3B (GFR 30-44) for purposes of screening and referral.
Avatar f tn See your gynecologist again or go to your regular physician where s/he will probably direct you to someone who specializes in things like nerve damage. Definitely do something about the kidney infection. Are you getting treated for it? If not, start getting treated for it immediately.
Avatar f tn Yes, they are safe. Most of us with cirrhosis commonly have an endoscopy and colonoscopy every year or so to screen and monitor the status of our varices. I have taken miralax many times with no adverse effects. What can more problematic is any anesthesia type drug(s) you may be given. I assume this procedure is being performed by your gastro and she/he is aware of your cirrhosis?
Avatar m tn While i may have bloating, tummy pains and rumbling of gas moving in my intestines etc, i have also been diagnosed with high protein in the urine, doctors say is caused by damage to the kidney, letting more albumin out than usual. They attribute this damage to the high blood pressure i am suffering. My question is: could the increased gas pressure from aerophagia enter the kidney and cause this physical internal damage, and/or augment the increased BP.
Avatar n tn He has a movement about every 10 days or so,its about 4 inches wide and 10 inches long every time since he was 2. Miralax does not work.
Avatar m tn I had an ultrasound that showed my biliary system to be squeaky clean. They even checked my right kidney, which was normal, as well. I did; however, have a lot of gas on the ultrasound. My doctor told me to try simethicone and to cut back on fiber. I am trying to do both but really don't notice much change. I have recently lost 43 pounds but I still have some skin folds to my abdomen.
