A kid needs Miralax for that long because they are eating so many ultra processed and processed foods! In my line of work I have been in doctor's offices and there have been kids on Miralax for YEARS!

That is horrible! Are doctors even aware of the downstream effects? Why wouldn't a doctor offer other solutions or even refer them out to a nutritionist? Those poor kids!

Because most doctors are now only "drug" pushers and want to relieve symptoms. Side effects and downstream consequences be damned.

Side effects just means repeat customers and more meds.

Exactly and the more meds.. sadly no one asks (if on multiple meds) how those will interactive with each other and that's good for the Doc cause I am sure there is no "science" about it!!

There is a site for health professionals that can tell us drug interactions/depletion with herbs and nutrients. I would think a medical professionals must have access to something similar.

Oh probably but finding the cause doesn't seem to be their strong suit
