Re: What next..........? Miralax

[Guest guest]

I take the prescription Miralax. My insurance continues to pay for it, I guess because of my diagnosis. The OTC one probably isn't strong enough.Annie Subject: Re: What next..........?To:

Try Miralax for your constipation. That is what my daughter used to take. Fiber supplememts aren't always the best for people with IBS or IBD.

Have you seen a GI doctor recently? All of my daughters vaginal problems were caused by the ulcers in her rectum.
