@doxyjune @lioness Be careful with Miralax. It's precribed like candy. I don't know why Doctors do this. It's a laxative made from Polythene Glycol (PEG) the same ingredient used in Antifreeze, household cleaning supplies. Not something I would want to put in me. There is a black box warning on FDA website on it..also known as Laxido, Movicol, GoLytely, Clearlax). It may be soon taken off the market. It's a dangerous laxative.

@eliana5 thats why I use prunes Medication has to many side effets and in this case with Miralax you dont know whats in it Good info thanks
I don't think there's any problem with taking Miralax as prescribed. It is certainly nothing like antifreeze, a deadly poison if ingested.
YOur comment led me to believe you are comparing Miralax to antifreeze. I don't think that's a good comparison.

Great! my GI dr just told me take daily. It’s completely safe. Does not enter the blood stream etc. never know what to take anymore. I’m so confused
Neuro dr says I have Tardive dyskinesia. Which can cause stiffness and slow motility it’s a reaction to certain drugs. . Only drug I took 3 times in a years time was cipro. First 10 days of pills. Then few months later in an IV. WHICH THEY REMOVED RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A REACTION. RED HIVES VEINS TURNING RED IN JUST SECONDS. then several months later in a nasal wash. For sinus infection. Had body tremors after 3 days so stopped it. It’s been hell since 2014.
Pain all over my body. Nerves muscles skin. Hives. GI ISSUES.
Guess I’ll look at the fda warnings on miralax.
