I found something that works! I take miralax but it doesn't add much bulk to my poo-poo, although it helps with the constipation. Well my tummy's been hurtin' a lot lately so I started taking citrucel in addition the the miralax. I didn't see any improvement until one day I got lazy and mixed the two together in the same glass. I'm now pooing so happy, like 1-2 times (mostly 1 time) a day comfortably. Yahoo! It's helped with the pain too!
I imagine it would work with Heather's tummy fiber too.
Try it!!

Yes, I always mix my acacia right in with my miralax! Glad you found it works for you too!

What type of Citrucel? Regular or Sugar Free? Just one dosage?

Jessica

P.S. Are you getting more "logs"? I too take Miralax and Zelnorm and having runny poo all the time. I get relief, but I would feel better having more bulk.

It's the regular citrucel cause the "sugar free" kind has fake sugar in it. I stopped taking the zelnorm and feel much better. With this mixture I have had "logs" LOL. But they disintagrate when I flush.
