Just take more Miralax - it cannot hurt you . Dulcolax is a "laxative" that is not good to take on a long term basis. Just take more/drink more f luids with it and split the dose morning/evening so things "keep moving along" i am 69 and have been taking Miralax twice a day since i was 50 - lifesaver - lived on boxes and boxes of laxatives before - Miralax was a "life changer"

Thanks again Denise. I have been asking and asking about my Miralax/Dulcolax "gush and push" method with nothing until you replied. I'll try Miralaz twice a day and drop the Dulcolax.

(That said, I've not seen a study that shows the body develops tolerance to stimulant laxatives. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, I've just never seen a study confirming it by the medical industry or FDA or whatever.)
