Well for those of you that use Miralax with results, I am happy for you. I take

it twice a day with numerous other laxatives, mostly mom and senekot and have

severe colonic dysmotility now. It is so severe that they are contemplating an

ileostomy. I am extremely miserable after all intake of food let alone the cp

I also have cystic fibrosis that complicates matters also. I have a magacolon

that has the potential to rupture at any point. So it can be serious. Does

anyone have anyother aides? Wish I had better words of wisdon. Take care and I

pray for everyone. Deb

Heidi,

In the beginning how much of the miralax did you use? I've tried using twice

daily for several days in a row and it doesn't really seem to help. Maybe I

need to try using it consistently for a longer period of time. My doctor has

said Ican use it 3-4 times a day, but I just can't stand to take it that many

times a day. I know it is supposed to have no taste, but I swear it does make

whatever I mix it with taste a little funky. What do you take the miralax with?

I have been taking MIralax for about three years and sometimes it helps

and sometimes not. I mix it with koolaid or crystal light and it is

pretty good. Make sure that you mix it thoroughly. I just find that it

bloats me. Deb
