Perhaps, I should be glad that I have a formula that works, but….it seems unfeasible to do indefinitely. It’s been recommended by my primary and gastroenterologists.

Is it reasonable to drink a glass of Metamucil AND a glass of Miralax every day? And, be not too far from a bathroom, because I’ll likely need to go anywhere from 4-5 times a day. And, to deal with the soft consistency, which isn’t normal. And, to have the air that goes along with it? I wouldn’t call it gas, because it’s not gas. No odor and doesn’t even feel like gas, just air. I never feel bloated or have pain. I’ve been doing this for 16 months and it’s gotten old. It’s cramping my dating plans. Lol

If I mess with the doses, I won’t go. That’s not an option due to my hemorrhoids.

I drink lots of water and take probiotics. I have healthy, whole food diet, olive oil, healthy fats, veggies, daily exercise,…..have tried seeds, nuts, fruits, and all the things people swear by….And, yes, I will go if I take a dose of Milk of Magnesium, but doctors discourage this on a regular basis. I do take 300 mg of Magnesium supplement daily. Seems to make no difference.

Since this began, I’ve had 3 normal BMs over the course of 2 days….like old times. So I know I’m capable.

I’m scheduled for further tests soon. I’m trying to keep the faith.
