Taking Miralax and Meta Mucil in the same day

I have microscopic colitis and IBS. I take a daily dose of Miralax and one dose of Citrucel fiber. My GI Dr said I could even mix them together. She recommended Citrucel over Metamucil because it's less likely to produce excess gas. Citrucel is methycellulose vs the psyllium husk in Metamucil.

I have been advised by my doctor to take Restoralax (called Miralax in the States) daily, but the label states it should not be taken for longer than seven days. That concerns me - especially since it is pure propylene glycol. Isn’t that a plastic base? I have been told Citrucel also is basically “plastic”.
