Anyone else have a Redundant / Tortuous Colon?

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?

A gastroenterologist recommended long term daily use of Miralax along with psyllium (Metamucil) once a day to manage my IBS-C. I do not think this is uncommon.
