So your IBS is the diarrhea type, not IBS C which causes bouts of constipation, correct?
If so, why are you taking Miralax? I’ve been taking it daily for the past 6 yrs for constipation issues following prostate surgery. Why are you taking it if bowel movements are frequent?

I have multiple bowel issues - with IBS a shorthand for it, so problem is both constipation and diarrhea. I just want to control *when* so I can have it empty for treatment. Miralax (recommended by GI) has been a great help, but not sufficient, or I'm using it wrong or at the wrong time. Also, I have only been using it for a few weeks.
