My GI doc gave me Miralax, but no antibiotics. He ran a CT Scan, a Stool specimen test and took blood. He did not mention anything about bacterial growth. I have not taken the Miralax for about a week now because it gives me diarrhea. I have just been trying to eat soluble fiber and taking fiber supplements. I am IBS-A, and a laxative just tears my guts apart.

I am sorry I cannot be of more help. Perhaps you should get a second opinion. My first GI doc just gave me a colonoscopy and placed me on Zelnorm without taking any tests to rule out something other than IBS; that is why I got a second opinion.

Good Luck
