Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Awhile back when I saw my doctor I was telling him that the miralax was working, but I never felt completly eliminated. He said since I have the enlarged colon, the fiber would be very bloating for me and stool softeners are useless. He suggested that i need two different types of laxatives to get things moving and get more cleaned out. He suggested taking my miralax and in addition one dulcolax PER DAY!!! He said my body was dependant upon laxatives already, being the miralax, and I would always need something to make me go because of my colon. He said that taking the one tablet per day would not be harmful. I haven't been doing it though. Every once in awhile I take one if I get backed up, but that's it. To be honest with you, since I started eating more protein and good fats in my diet, I'm going way better. Before the miralax just gave me runny poo and not much of it, now my poo is more solid and more of it comes out and I have not adjusted the amount of miralax I'm taking. Plus I'm pregnant, so I feel lucky that I'm pooping like that now because pregnant makes C so much worse.
