How long have you been taking Miralax daily? Am Trying to get off it daily — agree. Full dose too much
“Can’t hurt you!” Famous words of first GI doctor researcher introducing me to Miralax which MAYO SAYS IS INDEED AN OTC laxative.
Ckg with my primary care re nationwide voluntary recall in upjohn magnesium citrate; solgar also makes ir, Piping Rock appears to sell French made product. Asic question Mayo Clinic needs to tell us is magnesium citrate indicated for constipation if so where to get it
I take Miralax everyday. It helps a little during the week. If I'm still having trouble I'll use Duloclax Bisacodyl once a week and my BMs are soft and that cleans me out.
Is this ok? Thx all. I have tried everything else and eat the recommended amount of fiber.
Take Kayam churna tablets ( available at most Indian Grocery stores). Also Indian organic psyllium husk called "Sat Isabgul." Very effective. Of course the traditional cotton seed oil, also known as "Divel" or Castor oil is the father of relieving constipation. It tastes horrible though.
Are either FDA approved?
Good ole prune juice - heat it up in a glass.
I have been dealing with this off and on for 70 yrs. Most recently I went to Gastrointrologist. After trying 3 different Rx I am so disappointed. I take thyroid med plus several other Rx drugs including pain meds. I am at a loss for where to turn now!
