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

Thank you. Will try that - trying to maintain with minimal intervention. Also doing low fodmap but not really sure it' works for this condition.

Thx Denise. I have found Miralax really helpful too although I have to "push" it along with Dulcolax. That's not recommended by my GI but I 'm 68 and have to do it.
