Hi Elizabeth,
I was completely full two days ago and I had to have a colonoscopy. I drank only clear liquids during the day and my gastro had me take 1/2 of a 527g bottle of miralax w/ 64 ounces of water at 5pm and 4 dulcolax at 9pm. By the next morning it was the first I felt normal in forever. I was cleaned completely out.
Course I took 34g miralax last night and this morning and I've yet to go... but at least I got all that old stuff out of me!!

My sister was given zelnorm by her dr, when she complained of being C & not having a bm for 2 weeks...she told him her mother & sister had IBS & he agreed that she most likely did too. ANYways...she took the zelnorm & nothing happened. Next dose, still nothing. At this point, she was desperate & went to the drug store & bought a fleets enema. After using the enema, she was finally able to have a small bm...then she started getting D, and had D for 3 days while she was taking the zelnorm. It finally stopped, and she said her belly was completely flat! I don't know if it took the enema to get things started, or if it just takes a couple days for zelnorm to start working for some people.
(I'm not allowed to take zelnorm cause one of the possible side effects is pelvic adhesions, and I have PAD.)
Hope it starts to work for you!!

Hi Wendy!
I hope you continue to feel good! (And that more stuff eventually comes out!) I think I am finally cleaned out - the miralax made me D-like (but only in the consistency of the stools - no urgency or anything) and after a full day of it yesterday, I woke up this morning with a flat belly and I feel great!
I'm going to send you an email now

HEY! that is the *exact* same thing I am going thru too!! i noticed after i started my 2nd bag of acacia--i have been horribly and painfully constipated and stopped up in every way that it just feels like my tummy is going to pop and explode! i *know* im eating WAY more food then i am ridding myself of and im just not sure why this is happening. i remember it happening in highschool b/c i remember feeling this big and uncomfortable. but i didnt really do anything for it then, it just kind of worked itself out. hmm  if you come across something in the way of relief, PLEASE post back?? i am in too much pain to bare it!
