Sylas says goodbye to Miralax and chronic constipation! 👋 Read mom’s story of how he got there!
Mom says, “Sylas was constantly constipated. 💩 He would strain so hard he would bleed and we couldn’t figure out how to make him go regularly. You could tell he was uncomfortable, and it was so hard watching him go through it, but it just seemed like no matter what I tried, it didn’t work.
It was devastating watching him struggle. 😔 I felt helpless and like a bad mom. I felt like I couldn’t help him, and the doctors that could weren’t listening to me.
We tried 3 different types of formula 🍼 when he was little, and once he started solids, it only got worse. We tried food elimination 🚫 and finally, the GI doctor put him on Miralax and told us he would have to stay on it forever and that there was nothing else we could do.”
Then a friend referred them to a PX Doc office where he got his first neurological scans 📈 taken…
Mom said, “Your care gave me a solution I didn’t know existed and one without any medication 💊 at all. His first scans made me cry because of how stressed out his system was. There isn’t anything in the world like watching your child hurt. It was awful. But it was also good to see where the problems were and that the docs at our PX Office said they could help.
After the first week we started chiropractic work, he started going to the bathroom regularly! 🎉 It was incredible. They told us it could take weeks to start working, but when he finally went to the bathroom that first week, we were so relieved. 😅 I think since his system was just so stressed out, it found relief with the new care and getting off the Miralax right away.
Now, he’s much happier 😁 and doesn’t strain to go to the bathroom. Sure, we have constipation bouts, as any human does, but he rarely gets them and goes almost every day, which is better than most adults. You can tell it has affected him positively in other areas as well. We were pretty much nonverbal when we started, and we are saying more than 10 words 🗣️ currently. His immune system and the ability to fight off infection is pretty high.” 💪🏻
We’re so pumped for you, Sylas! 💙
