epsom baths also have laxative effect as it is magnesium, especially if he drankwater. That plus the miralax would explain diarrhea.

That was my exact problem with the epsom salt baths. My son keptpooping in the tub when I gave him the baths. I resulted to givinghim Epsom Salt Cream called magnesium Sulfate Cream and we’ve neverever had a problem with it. It also does not cause loose stools inmy son like the baths did. Here is a link to purchase it. It’s$18.00 and last 180 days. It comes with a 1 gram scooper and youapply 1 gram each night after their bath.
The link will not show up in a hyperlink completely b/c it’s solong. You’ll have to copy and paste each part of the link in or goto http://www.kirkmanlabs.com and in the search type in epsom salt creamand then click on magnesium sulfate cream.
