Re: miralax??       02/04/05 06:11 PM Edit Reply Quote tribarkin Reged: 03/30/04 Posts: 8 Loc: Holden, MA Hi Everyone: My doctor just prescribed Miralax for me as the Acacia has not been enough by itself. I tried increasing my dose from 2 TBS to 3TBS but got too gassy and had to cut back. The doctor said that Miralax is a perfectly safe organic laxative. The ingredient sounds a bit scary to me Polyethelene Glycol, is this really safe to use? The name doesn't exactly sound organic to me, it sounds like something that belongs in my car rather than something I should ingest... I read one post about someone being pregnant and their doctor telling them to stop taking Miralax as it might not be safe. If there is a question of safety in pregnancy, then why wouldn't there be a question for everyone else? Just trying to eductate myself before taking this medication. Anyone have any medical information they can share on this? Thanks, Jody Champlin Holden, MA -------------------- Jody Champlin Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
