Dear user,
I really understand your concern about your son.
First, you should know that Miralax is used once per day and it should be used only for short term.
Based on your introduction, his cramps may be due to Miralax. Also cut off Miralax, becauseyour son has regular bowel movement, so there's no reason to use it.
All the best!
