[QUOTE="myfirstandlast, post: 88199, member: 3420"] Yeah, I don't think my coworkers appreciate updates on my son's bowel issues either. [img]:wink:[/img] My attempt at slipping stool softener and liquid fiber into his breakfast shake failed miserably. He took one sip and went UH-UH that's that nasty medicine! (Miralax) Outright refused to drink it. No encouragement would help. So we had a little talk about what a pediatric gastroenterologist is. How it would be in HIS best interest to take the **** stool softener because they will x-ray him and if he has not "cleaned out" they will do it. His eyes got a little big there. How? Hmmm. What to say to keep his interest without making him outright refuse to go to the hospital ... well, you know how this works slowly? What they give you will work FAST. Whoosh. I think he got the point. I got him to take 2 tsp of the liquid fiber that is *supposed* to be unflavored, clear and odorless. He sniffed it and gagged. I insisted, and he downed it and gagged some more, screamed and whined about how horrible it was, grabbed a mint and left for school still mad at me. He won't take that again without a fight, or me hiding it awfully well. Like in a can of Coke maybe. *sigh* At least this morning, he didn't argue about or try to deny his leakage problem. But he was awful concerned that stool softener would make it worse rather than better. I think he needs a visual, a diagram or something, to understand. What do you hide Miralax in for those hypersensitive to taste? [/QUOTE]
