Hi, we are working on helping my 12 yr old autistic granddaughter who has severe constipation for years. All they give her is tons of Miralax and it isn't really helping. Wondering how often you are doing that mixture?

Hi @muggle731, how difficult this must be for your granddaughter.

I notice on Mayo Clinic Bowel Evacuation Program site they mention pediatrics.
“Pediatric pelvic floor therapists work with physician partners to improve regular bowel evacuation for children and adolescents.”

This may be a wonderful program for your granddaughter. My experience at Mayo Clinic has been receiving super compassionate care. I posted this above but here is the link again so you can read the program summary: https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/bowel-evacuation-disorders-program/overview/ovc-20467190

You could contact them here for an appointment: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
