miralax kosher

t it follow that foods that are certified kosher but have salt are using kosher salt? So, I could have the lightly salted Matzos as opposed to the unsalted ones? And I could have the salted kosher margarine (dairy free) as opposed to the unsalted one (which, of course, my supermarket is out of)? I was just wondering - I don't know if that's an LID question or if I should direct it to a kosher dietician, but I was just curious....

I am about to start the LID for thr third time. In the past I have avoided salt 100%. Can anyone tell me if Kosher salt is iodine free? I have not seen that written on the box and didn't want to take a chance.

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.

My doctor told me to take miralax and to increase my water intake.

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.

Has anyone had miralax?

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?

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....

I found a jar sauce that is certified kosher - I think I remember reading something that all kosher food is low in iodine. Does anyone know if this is correct? Thanks!

he told me that I could use miralax and gatorade and it would be fine..I mean really I got the bathroom anywhere from 2 to 7 times a day, the prep is all I need to push me over the top...so I am hoping that I will be able to tolerate the prep and the colonoscopy will go fine. A couple of other things, I do take things over the counter to attempt to slow down this condition..

This is on top of a strong oral medication (Amitiza) and magnesium. With Miralax, I get the stuff in the bottle and take 1 1/2 capfuls once a day and as needed.

In doing research for my RAI and hypo-he// the first time around, I came accross a website that talked about Kosher certified foods. It stated that nothing that hadn't been blessed by a Rabbi or "certified Kosher" could be considered a kosher food. In my research, which I'm sorry, I don't remember all of what it contained at this time, led me to Rice Krispies... which are kosher and blessd by a Rabbi.

I'm not sure it helps, but if a product is kosher, than the salt is not iodized. I read a TON of stuff when I was on LID, and finally came to the conclusion via rice krispies that when a product is labeled "Kosher", it's salt is iodine free and ok. You can not always assume anything, but after reading up on Kosher products, I felt comfortable with using them as far as salt is concerned. You still have to be careful with other ingredients listed in Kosher foods though.

I take Miralax and have Gastroparesis. I can't have a BM without the Miralax!!!! It has truly been a God sent to me! I have a spastic colon and, well needless to say the Miralax is the best tasting, no side effect product out there!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!! My daughter who is 12 (almost 13) takes it occasionally (only a half cap full) when she's stopped up. I've tried just about every other "helper" out there on the market and Miralax is by far the best!

Hi.. you can try a homemade saline solution... approx 2tbs kosher salt, 1 tbs baking soda to one quart of tap water... This can be administered via a small squirt bottle, netti pot, or something like a Gossan hydro pulse (approx $100.00)..

Organic GMO-free extra virgin olive oil, Bovine, Gelatin, (Kosher/Halal), vegetable, glycerin, purified waters GMO-free MCT oil (from coconut) 1) is this safe for baby? 2) I haven't done blood test for my vit25(oh) ... Should I wait til this test is done before I start taking this supplement? 3) what would be possible side effects of any?

You can have hot dogs during pregnancy.

The only time I know you can't have milk and meats is if you keep kosher, in which case you wouldn't eat shellfish anyway... There's no reason you can't eat them together though.

This time it was 3 weeks with nothing coming out so i took miralax for a couple days and then had a lot of diarreha so i stopped the miralax and 2 days layer every morning i wld go to the bathroom but it wld be long very thin or flat ribbon like. I still feel bloated and uncomfortable. Im so scared about the ribbon stool because everything online says cancer or blockage. Im a 38 yr old female. Also i started the miralax again last night but havent went to the bathroom yet.

I have done that, you will be fine probably! Miralax really doesn't have much of a taste. Just get a gatorade color you can tolerate. Good luck on your surgery!

Miralax only gets absorbed in your bowels. It helps by pulling the water into your bowels to help you go and give you softer poop. It doesn't get absorbed into the bloodstream so it won't harm the baby. Class C only means there hasn't been any studies showing there is side effects that will harm the fetus. Doctors prescribe it and suggest it because it is a non-stimulant if taken at the correct dosage.

Any salt that doesn't contain iodine, i.e. Kosher salt is good. Anything with milk products or that may have been exposed to milk should be avoided as iodine is used to clean the vats that hold the milk prior to distribution.

I would stop the Miralax completely. The diarrhea you are experienceing may be a residual effect of the Miralax. Try eating a well balanced diet, including some fiber, and if you see no improvement within 2 weeks, see another doctor who will listen and get to the root of the problem. Good luck to you.

ve been taking huge amounts of magnesium oxide which caused swelling in my legs My doctor has suggested taking Miralax 3 times a day which I started last night. I took the second dose this morning and the pain has increased and changed considerably. Is this normal at the beginning? Should I continue until o Get used to it.

Advertisement I've had chronic constipation for a few weeks now. I was rally backed up when I went to the ER 2 weeks ago, and I've been going but only a little everyday. I had an enema and magnesium citrate at the hospital 2 weeks ago, which only got rid of a little. The past two weeks my doctor started prescribing miralax, which the past 2 days I've been taking 2 capfuls per day.

Lastly, you can usually mix more salt into peanut butter (high fat, I know). When adding salt, I prefer to use pickling, canning, or kosher salt. The table salt gives things a very odd taste when there's a lot of it. Of course, you still have to use some table salt to get enough iodine.
