DS woke up with a surprise this am.
His pj were wet
He was mortified .
He slept through it
-
A small amount of watery BM in his pj

Rheumo just upped the Mtx and humira dose.
Would miralax cause this if he didn't need it due the higher drugs???

Staying in my bubble until it happens again
 
:D This is what happened to grace when we upped her Humira to every seven days.
She no loner needs Miralax or it will give her diarrhea.

I think Miralax could do that. Our GI was always telling us to adjust the dose after starting all the different meds.

He hasnt had the higher dose of humira-every 10 yet( still waiting on insurance approval.)

I have been decreasing miralax -
My need to hold off for a day or two to see
 
When my son first started MTX it gave him softer BMs, almost watery at times. This eventually resolved as his body adjusted to the med.

M has had this happen several times. In her case her GI decided it was a mini flare and we added Imuran. She was also mortified.

I hope it's just the Miralax for your son though. Fingers and toes crossed!
