Re: Miralax vs Zelnorm       09/28/06 11:30 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan I took miralax for years, like 5 years. It worked wonders for me. The more water you drink with it and through out the day, the better. It doesn't really matter morning or night. I found it worked best on an empty tummy, let it settle for 10 minutes or so and than eat breakfast. My C would get worse when I traveled or just before my period or sometimes no real reason and sometimes I would take an extra dose at bedtime for a few days until things were moving again. It is ok to take stool softeners with the miralax. Most people notice improvement in bm's within a few days but sometimes it can take a week or so to really get things moving. Zelnorm is completely different and caused awful cramps for me, not to mention headaches. Zelnorm is much newer and definitely not suggested for long term use. My gi docs told me that miralax was fine to take long term. I never built up a tolerance to it. I've recently developed some other medical issues and now have D, so the miralax is not needed any longer but if I ever swing the other way again, I will definitely use it again. -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
