Thanks Ruchie,
its makes me feel so good to have people i can relate to. As for the colonoscopy, I havnt had one eathier, but i do want one. Im just scared about the prep. As for my mom, whenever my stomach hurts, she tells me to take a tyenlol  the worst part about that is that tyenlol makes my stomach hurt worse! In times like that, i pretend to the medicine. hehehehe. I know what you mean about laxaives. When I first started out with IBS, i was actually IBS-C, and i was afraid to take a laxative too. I'm now Ibs-d though, and i wouldnt touch with a laxative with a 10 foot pole 
thanks again!

I have taken both Zelnorm and Mirilax. Zelnorm worked for a while, but stopped. Mirilax didn't really work for me either. I started taking it on a Tuesday and I did not have a bm until the following Wednesday. My doctor suggested I take it twice a day, but I have not started doing that. I'm just not too keen on taking that much of a laxitive. Let me know how if works for you.

I've pretty much decided not to take it, it's not a long term solution so why start? I've heard more bad than good. I'm gradually working the insol fiber in with all the sol fiber and it is starting to do the trick, gradually.

I wouldn't advise staying on a laxative for two long, you might get some bad side effects. To be sure ask your doctor.
