Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

My colon specialist advised me to take 2 caps of MiraLax twice each day. I think my mistake has been to wait until I am constipated to take meds. If you have motility issues, you really need it as a preventative.

Welcome, @tlisaberry. I read either in this discussion or in another discussion that some members are concerned about long term usage of MiraLAX. My understanding is that it is an over-the-counter product that's typically used to treat short-term constipation. Do you use it for short periods of time?

I'm glad you have an appointment coming up soon with a specialist about your fainting bouts and low blood pressure when you have the need/urge to empty your bowels. Do you normally have low blood pressure?
