Meds causing loose stools?

Does anyone else have a problem with their children’s BM’s?  Not a fun subject I know but we have had problems with Kenny’s stools since he was about 15 months.  He was seeing a GI doctor who put him on Maltsupex and Miralax for about 18 months to "keep his stools soft" so he wouldn’t hold back anymore (he was chronically constipated).  He has not had a firm BM for almost 2 years now.  At 39 months it is getting really tiring (not to mention gross) but he shows no signs of getting potty trained because he still has no sensation of even going to the bathroom.  It seemed as if things were starting to improve when he was diagnosed with the CAH.  He has been on Cortef for almost 60 days now and he started Florinef about 10 days ago.  Since he started the Florinef - he has about 3-5 BM’s a day (small ones) that are even more loose and almost black in color. 

I am curious to know if anyone else is going through something similar. 

Sorry to bring up such a gross subject.  :0)
