Miralax - How much and how often to

[Guest guest]

,

The Miralax comes in a container that has a cap that's used to measure the

powder. I take one dose by filling the cap up to the line on the inside of the

cap, which is 17 grams - about the same as a heaping tablespoon. In the

beginning, I would take 17 grams each morning. A few times when I've been

really blocked up I've been told I could take two capfulls of 17 grams each

twice a day, for up to a three days. I've never had to take it for that length

of

time though, I've always had results by some time during the second day.

I always mix 8 ounces of liquid with it.......usually it's coffee, but sometimes

I've

used water, tea or even Diet Pepsi. To me, if there is any taste at all, it

tastes

kind of sweet, but not enough so that I can't tolerate the taste. When it's

gotten bad, I'd drin tar if I thought it would help!!

With love, hope and prayers,
