Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Ruchie.....How do you feel about Miralax?

I'm so sorry you too are feeling so bad. I agree with Ruchie about not taking the miralax while you have D. I was on it for about 2 years and it did help keep things moving. If I would miss a day or two I would get C, so I do think your body does become dependant on it. I stopped it just recently, I also stopped the fibercon and I'm only taking Citrucel. I'm not regular by any stretch of the imagination but I think my body still needs a little time to adjust. I also have been up the last few nights crying from the pain. The heating pad is my best friend right now. I had to come to work but at the drug store I found ThermaCare heat wraps, they don't get as hot as the heating pad but it is helping me get through my day. I strongly suggest picking some up if you have to be seperated from your heating pad. I have had IBS C for about 16 years and I haven't found anything better for the pain than the heat. If you find something that works better for you please let us know. Thanks.
Hope you feel better soon.
