Benefits: | | Helped ease constipation without causing discomfort. I have tried many different types of laxatives, fibers, etc to help reduce my problems with constipation. Many laxatives cause extreme cramping and work only the one time. The next day, the problem returns. With Miralax, I took it for the three consecutive days and it worked slowly, but without cramping, and without and discomfort at all. The effects lasted for several weeks -- that is, I had a bowel movement every day, easily. After about three weeks I needed to take it again, but it was only for the three days and then it had the same effect. I have been doing this now for almost a year. I feel significantly better. |
Side effects: | | None |
Comments: | | I take Miralax in the evening, mixing it with a cup of warm water. After about three days, it starts to work. It does not "clean out" my stomach -- just helps me to have easy and regular bowel movements. I have to repeat the three-day program every three weeks or so. When I notice I have not had a bowel movement for a few days, then I take it again. For me, this is a great help. |
