A member asked:

Can mirilax cause gas in babies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really.: Gas in babies is either swallowed air, or from incomplete digestion of food. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) has nothing to do with this.

I have been unable to pass gas easily since last week. I can do#2 without a problem, so I dont think its a blockage. I was taking MiraLAX and Phillips fiber gummies before to prevent constipation. Could they have caused a motility problem?
I took a very small dose of Miralax only a 1/2 teaspoon ( small amount due to my sensitive stomach issues IBS). For 2 days now I am having alot of trapped gas in my intestines. Can a small amount of Miralax cause trapped gas and cramps?
