Re: Miralax question       06/12/06 06:36 PM Edit Reply Quote JanC1955 Reged: 05/18/06 Posts: 10 Loc: Northern Nevada I've been on Miralax for a couple months now, and my uneducated guess is that you probably did take too much to start ... especially since your system wasn't used to it. From what I understand, it used to be and/or is still used by some doctors as a bowel prep for procedures like colonoscopies, so it makes sense that if you put too much into your system all at once you'd experience symptoms similar to those we all endure doing a bowel prep. I also had the bloating problem for about the first week on Miralax, but it did finally subside, and now I'm back to my usual intermittent bloating which probably has very little to do with the Miralax. Keep the faith! I'm IBS-C among other things, and Miralax has really made a big difference for me. I tolerate it much better than fiber supplements, and it definitely keeps me regular (as in, daily). Good luck to you. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
