I just started Miralax on Saturday, in addition to my 5 tsp of Acacia. Is this overkill? Would it be better to just take the Miralax for now? I am pretty C still...so am I taking too much stuff and just clogging my bowels up?
The people at Miralax Co. told me it is not necessary to drink more water than usual when taking Miralax. I am scared to stop the fiber since it took me 2 months now to work up to 5 tsp. Don't want to go through the increasing stage from step one again.
My nurse told me to stop the fiber and take Ducolax laxatives 2 time a week. But I would rather not do that. But then again, I haven't gotten better doing it my way, so maybe I need to trust them, stop the fiber and just take Miralax and Ducolax.
I know you guys can't tell me what to do about the ducolax, but do you "experts" think I am doing too much with taking 12.5 tsp of Fiber from Acacia plus the Miralax? Should I stop increasing the Acacia and continue on the same dose, even though I'm not yet "going"?
I would rather just be reliant on the Acacia, but it hasn't worked on it's own yet.
Any opinions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
