Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Aly, have you tried Miralax yet?

HI Beth-- I actually never started Miralax. Here's what happened. My anxiety was out of control, so I got on Lexapro...my doc said it mgiht cause me to be more prone to D...well it works! I have had normal BMs everyday since starting it! Isn't that crazy? I love it...i used to be SOOO C...so this is great. I have had 3 weeks of pure stability until yesterday. Don't know what happened (probably period related) but I am cramping a ton and having very very frequent BMs. Still, once every 3 weeks is the biggest blessing ever.
As for the GF stuff...I had positive bloodwork, but my surgeon that took my galbladder out told me those tests can come back with false positives if another organ is inflamed--which my gallbladder certainly was. And, I didn't have an ounce of D after the surgery--I lucked out. Seriously, being able to munch of crackers when I'm not feeling well is fabulous.... I'm so sorry you're still having a rough time. I went through an entire year of GF, then IBS safe diet, then all of the gallbaldder stuff...it took a lot out of me. On top of the Lexapro (which I certainly LOVE!) I am also doing the hypno tapes--love them! I am so much calmer and can handle these attacks much easier. I know where you've been, Beth. I was so miserable and just thought I would never be able to get my life back on track...but with hypno and the AD, I am getting it all together. Hang in there and know that everyone on this site is really supportive---reading all of the posts made me feel like I am not alone. It was a lifesaver!!!
