Thank you so much for your reply. Yes I have another call in to the surgeon this morning. I’m afraid to restart the miralax for fear it will just add to the diarrhea.. but then I read somewhere it’s suppose to be add bulk to stools.. but the miralax package suggests the opposite.

Thanks again for responding!
