I have improved considerably by stopping anything that stimulates the colon, ie Miralax, Metamucil, stool softener and limiting coffee. I am careful to eat high fiber, got to love those veggies. I still take probiotic, magnesium and enteric coated oil of peppermint capsules. The best thing that works for me is a audio program of guided imagery meditations that are specifically designed for IBS. It has taught me to relax and has relaxed my gut. This works for me. I encourage everyone to keep trying to find what works for you.

I am interested in what you are saying about stopping the miralax....I have severe pain after every bowel movement. I was told to take miralax daily after surgery I had a year ago for an obstruction in the small bowel. Please clarify. Thank you

Stopping the Miralax is what worked for me, maybe not for you. I have IBS-C. My triggers are when I stray from a high fiber diet and stress. That is why I am able to find relief with the proper diet and guided imagery meditation to help with stress. I encourage you to determine your triggers and address them. Thanks for the reply.
