Taking Miralax and Meta Mucil in the same day

I took two tablespoonsful of just psyllium husk for years and was regular as clockwork, but after my recent colonoscopy I have been constipated. The fact that I developed anal fissures even before the colonoscopy has been a further aggravation.
Since being constipated after the colonoscopy I have been taking a tablespoonful of psyllium husk (generic form of Metamucil) with a teaspoonful of Restoralax (Canadian label for the American Miralax) and it has helped, but the Restoralax label indicates it should not be taken for longer than seven days. I wonder why …?

@ripley and @uma1 yesterday I went to a health food store and discussed my concern about taking Restoralax and the assistant there suggested Go-Lax Bowel Formula by a company called Healthology. I came home and took a tablespoonful of psyllium fibre as usual, followed by one capsule of Go-Lax. Had a bowel movement within three hours!
Then just before getting ready for bed I ate two prunes. I don’t know if it was the Go-Lax, or the two prunes (four recommended, but I took just two because my potassium levels hover at the borderline) and around noon today I had another movement.
I don’t know which one is working - perhaps both - but it’s been a real relief (pun intended)!
