Miralax not working
I’m a 70-yr old male and started developing constipation Omer the past few months. Taking Miralax 1x day for 3 days—spacing it out over a few weeks— usually did the trick, but not this time. Suggestions! Thx

Hi Kerry! I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know that for some reason, it appears, that the Prunelax is beginning to work for me! I have to take four for any results though. I am thinking because I have a tortuous intestine that may be the reason. (too much intestine for a person my size.) That has always been an issue in my life but after C-diff things totally changed and I was not able to have a BM on my own without medication. Your guidance has helped SO much and I'm sure the prayer! I'm excited this morning and I pray that this continues to work for me because I feel so much better. I hope that Keegan is doing well also! Thank you for praying for me. I will let you know if this positive result continues. Jacque
Hi Jacque! I'm so glad to hear from you. That is fantastic news that the prunelax is starting to work. I do have some new info that might help 🙂 The original minitab prunelax has 150mg of dried senna leaf extract. I just saw that they now have prunelax in 2 different formulas-a maximum relief strength and an extra strength tablet. You can look on Amazon and see the difference in amounts...they may actually be a better stronger formula and you may be able to take less than 4. Let me know what you think once you get a chance to look up the difference. I will definitely keep the prayers going. I'm just so excited that it seems to be helping!!! If you do feel super blocked up, don't forget about the magnesium citrate liquid. I would definitely keep that in stock...just in case. Keeg is doing good! Thanks for checking 🙂 Keep me posted and I'll keep the prayers going!!! 🙂

Thank you SO much Kerry! It is so good to hear from you and that is great info about the Prunelax. I will be gone for the weekend but I will definitely look into that when I return. My birthday is coming up (70)! and we're going to visit the oldest daughter who is having a mini celebration for me! Thank you for your friendship and continued encouragement. It means a lot to me. And it is wonderful to be feeling better! It's only been a few days but I'm hoping this regimen will continue successfully. I will definitely look into the stronger formulas. Thank you SO much! I was feeling like I needed to buy the company at the rate of 4 per dose! 🙂 Thank you for the continued prayers! <3 I will talk to you again soon! Jacque
HAHA!!! I know what you mean...I should own stock in prunelax, miralax, and many other supplements for Keeg 🙂
Have a wonderful birthday! I will continue to pray that things continue to improve <3 Enjoy the celebration!!
