My stool softeners and miralax aren't working, how come?

I was diagnosed with an elongated colon, two feet longer than normal. I am 67, never experienced any problems until 7 months ago. Supposedly the condition is congenital- who knows? My initial GI wanted me evaluated for resection surgery - I told him, No Thanks. Now trying to manage on my own. But do have appt with new GI in a week. Fingers crossed! Please take care!

i also have an elongated colon - just take more Miralax - it will work if you take enough and drink enough water - increase 1/2 capful at a time - and divide dose between evening/morning so the "flow" is consistent
