I've been flaring for years with Entyvio. Now, in the last 3 months it's turned to constipation with 2 fecal compactions. Has this happened to anyone else? Is Miralax safe to take daily. In the process of finding a new GI. Scared. Maria.

Hi @mariajean03

I've been living with UC for 19 years. It wasn't so bad at first but in the past 2/3 years its been tough. I was introduced to miralax but my GI specialist and It works. It's very safe. Hospitals give it as a daily drink to help with a daily clean out, it's used in colonoscopy prep. It's actually the only prep i prefer to use because it has no taste. I try to drink it at least 2/3 times a day to see any affect. I drink it with water, juice or tea/coffee.
I was recently on Entyvio for bleeding from the colon and it didnt work for me. I've moved onto Inflectra but kind of scared at what the side affects will do later in life.

Hope this helps
