Take
Miralax
daily but results are disappointing. Bloating hasn’t decreased in about 12 days. Any tips? Thank you

Med side effect
I’m eating prunes, drinking
Miralax
and resorting to ExLax and things are still a struggle. Drinking tons of water also. Anyone have a surefire tip? It will get better, won’t it? Again, sorry for the unsavory topic.

Update on appointment at Vanderbilt QCC
Could not tolerate this daily due to terrible constipation even with Colace or
MIralax
. I have switched it to every other day but still struggling with the constipation. Maybe this will play in my favor for getting an iron infusion! LOL I am now taking 600 mg Gabapentin every evening at 7 pm.

Differing Docs
My doctors disagree with one another - one says take
Miralax
every day. That was my gastroenterologist. Colo-rectal surgeon says - stop that right away, it's not meant for long term - take Metamucil. Years ago I took Metamucil and ended up almost with a blockage. My problem is motility.

chemo pain advice
Constipated and working on that with
Miralax
. I called the oncology infusion nurse and then the doctors (oncologist) office called back to schedule an appointment in 4 days!?!? I’m going to call them back. He’s not a complainer and a pretty tough guy. Any advice on what to ask for.

Phosphorous questions
I do
MiraLAX
and stool softeners and magnesium 200mg daily. Since I backed off on the binder, the constipation went away. I totally watch what I consume and even got rid of my daily oatmeal. I am sure they will try to tell me to do more dialysis.

Scared and Frustrated
They recommended a
miralax
clean out. I completed and did feel like i passed the majority. Still seeing some blood, and recontacted PCM. They still haven't seen me but did refer to GI. I can't get in with GI till June 5th! The worst of the stomach pain is over just generalized discomfort.

Finally a specialist appointment...
Keeping the constipation under control with diet, water,
miralax
and occasional stool softener. I'm certain I have either hemerrhoids so bad they need surgery or some sort of fissure or fistula We shall see. I am grateful I found a woman (who wants to go into this specialty?)

Morphine constipation help
I have been unable to make
miralax
work well. I was up to 4 caps daily and nothing, then doc added lactulose which did clean out some (despite diarrhea still very bloated and full of shit) but caused terrible nocturnal leg cramps.

IBD symptoms with no diagnosis
I took a colon prep amount of
Miralax
last week with no movement at all. I had to press into my abdomen to squeeze out the fluid that had built up. This also produced a long strand of what looked like my intestines in the toilet.

Constipation
I take
Miralax
(Restorolax) every couple of days. then I take mineral oil for couple of days, then Sennekot with Senna once per week to clear things out. Is there any advice you can share. I eat plenty of fibre which comes from fruit.

picolax with impacted stool
Nothing I take works dulcolax
miralax
and movicol. I decided picolax is my last resort I only took one sachet and felt a lot of water coming out after fifteen minutes o been going to the toilet but only watery liquid is coming out. I have been taking a lot of movicol so idk if that’s the reason.

Diverticulitis, hemerrhoids (?), fissure (?), bleeding
After that I went on
Miralax
at doc's orders and eating well. I even took Milk of Magnesia to move things along. Doc said that was a little harsh and to try and stick with the
Miralax
. Now, new symptom.

Waking up a sleeping colon
I went 3 times, all was "normal" but soft from the
Miralax
and Colace (every other day). I ended up lying down and sleeping like a rock with chills for about 2 hours. Woke up and felt weak but literally wonderful with my body cleaned out like that.

Constipation
I take
Miralax
every day, Colace every other day - drink constantly - and now I have huge BM feelings and go to the bathroom and feel like I''ve accomplished something - then I look and it is not at all what it felt like - smallish, yellowish and a lot of yellow-orange mucus.

can laxatives make constipation worse?
I was told to adopt a laxative regime using
miralax
and each morning I have large loose bowel movements. But the volume of stool does not decrease and throughout the day I have several smaller soft stool movements and continuous cramping and pain.

stomach upset
He started taking
miralax
at night to clean out his system and he’s finally found relief. He was taking fiber and that was causing severe stomach pains. This has been quite the journey. It’s comforting to read your stories❤️

Miralax directions and time before working???
I have IBS-C and I would like to know if anyone has had luck with taking
Miralax
and also if I take my first dosage today do I continue to take a dosage each of the 1-3 days until maybe it produces a bowel movement? Or do I take a dose and wait 1-3 days before taking another dose?
