How many of you have never had to go on Miralax? Is it common for most of us, or have most of you become regular with the BMs with just your diet and SFS?

What do you eat, or what Dose and type of SFS helps you to keep pooping?

Hi. As I posted separately, I've become regular with just acacia, magnesium, and vitamin C supplements. I'm not currently following the IBS diet explicitly.

i was prescribed miralax before i found psyllium as a BM aid but found little relief from the few doses of miralax i took [maybe 3?]. it didnt work the same way regular laxatives usually worked for me so i didnt want to continue using it. it always felt there was "more" inside--so i never felt completely empty.
have you tried it before? if youre thinking of going on it, search around a bit. theres probably something much better that will work with you. ive actually been thinking of going off the psyllium and trying this multi-fiber stir-in powder. its organic and blends both SF and IF for a nice combo--i think i may have told you about it already? you can check out these products they may be helpful too. good luck!

I've never used any prescription drugs, nor have I used any OTC laxatives in years. I just use fiber (S + I), magnesium, exercise, herbal tea, and a heating pad! Oh yeah, I follow Heather's diet most of the time, outside of the occasional non-decaf black tea with a few spoonfuls of half & half (wish there were soy creamers widely available at work/restaurants!).

...looks like I'm in the minority here. I wonder why some of us respond so well to diet and SFS and others don't? I think in my case, it's the anxiety and I need to get a CD player so I can start the Hypno tapes! That could be my missing key, cuz Lord knows nothing else is working.
