Hi qball2019,

Your experience and information is good. I have used Miralax sometime ago and it somewhat worked. However, it is made with Peg3350 and totally a commercial/industrial chemical. I use Magnesium Citrate in an emergency and it works very well indeed. I found out to buy the most expensive brand as the taste is much better-to me anyway. Yes, take it cold! My view point is these two are good for a one time localized events.

PEG 3350 is a polymer that is too big to be absorbed by the intestine. PEG 3350 it temporally remains in the gut and holds water.
It should only be used on a temporary use. Phillip’s Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide, Bayer) or mineral oil my have a better safety profile. Mineral oil is not absorbed in the gut and works well. Never give Peg3350 to children as it may adverse events including neuropsychiatric symptoms with extreme long term use and it is totally not natural. We need to listen and gain knowledge from others and learn what is best to do for ourselves. Humm... lets see Natural vs Synthetic big Pharma.

This is way I shared with the group a more natural way that your body can get used to using. I really think that it is better to give our bodies something good to work with instead of one time event and something to react to thru force. It has taken many years for us to get here and one might consider to make simple steps to reverse our condition. Yes you are right that MC works well and that is good, thank you for sharing your experience as it is very valid. Everyone have a great day and eat more fruit!! MicTim
