Ok, well it may help the pain a bit, but I can't tell if it does or not.
I take the Miralax because when my DR put me on the Amitiza, she said to keep taking the Miralax, and in a few months, I am going to try to get off one or the other, slowly! When I started going to a GI for all my issues, he said to keep doing what I'm doing if it's working. If I get pregnant, I'll have to get off the Amitiza, but the Miralax should be ok. It'll already be there working for me!
The low dose antidepressant is for the PAIN!! My GI said that over a six week period, the Elavil will start to eliminate the pain. If after six weeks it doesn't help (or I'm not where I think I need to be), I'm aloud to take 2 at night instead of 1 (kind of like being my own doctor), but one makes it very hard to wake up in the morning. So I don't know if I want to try two just yet.
I still get very bloated, nauseous, and still have a little pain, but the pain is not nearly as bad as it used to be. The bloating and nausea and flatulence can be controlled with diet. It's just when I go overboard that I have a bad spell.
