I suggest that when opening a bottle of Miralax you leave on the seal and just put a small hole through it. like I do. This helps so you can fill the cap slowly and not get it all over the place.

I am a retired critical care nurse and have turned to Miralax to improve my back end. I take opiates for chronic severe pain. I struggled with constipation since childhood. This medication relieves this and doesn’t cause dependence. For me, it takes about 12-24 hours for the Miralax to work.

I was surprised when the doctor prescribed taking the entire standard sized bottle of Miralax as my colonoscopy prep (along with a few stool softeners). It was so much easier to consume then drinking a gallon of that horrific lemon flavored concoction I had to the first few times.

I have been taking Miralax for 14 years now and it is the only med that relieves my chronic constipation. I have tried to stop it several times though but as soon ad I do, I become constipated despite having a vegan diet full of fruit n vegs. I think once you start miralax, your body will get used to it for life😊

@danc1197 3 ай бұрын

I've heard hot liquid such as coffee works better to ingest the miralax. The caffeine and hot liquid stimulates the process much quicker and the crystals also dissolve much better in hot liquid.

My recent colonoscopy, for the prep, I had to do two small bottles of Miralax plus take laxatives. Yes, I was cleaned out! I have taken Miralax for years because constipation has been a long time problem for me. Lately I have been taking several stool softeners each day and that seems to keep me pretty normal. I was told (also had an endoscopy when I had the colonoscopy) that I have a big hiatal hernia. I read up on the hiatal hernia and it said that when you strain for bowel movements it actually can enlarge a hiatal hernia! Never knew that! No wonder I have a big hiatal hernia! Constipation is horrible!!!

@donnasherwood283 7 ай бұрын

what one needs is to take the bowel prep in stages until one sees IN BOWL that it is clear water. these jerks generally over prescribe for THEIR CONVENIENCE assuming a certain number of people will not comply to point i describe. for the one colonoscopy i had years ago i took half of what he recommended and when I saw it was clear stopped as it can lead to episode of dehydration get the hiatal hernia fixed it is NO big deal these days done with a serious of very small incisions on abdomen very quick recovery. you need to find a solution of a non drug source if you need to take stool softener daily. chemical overload If you need to lose weight and try paleo or auto immune diet it should turn the trick up to and including resolving hemorrhoids if they are present. will be last to subside but they will.

why are you having a colonoscopy ? there is COLOGUARD which accurately identifies cancer in intestine much more accurately than the FDA would clear it for. If a colorguard tested postive it is the ONLY legitimate reason to proceed to invasive colonoscopy. Make your "doctor" if that is what is he explain why this is necessary; You can talk back t them rachel they work for you and should understand that. Hope all works out good luck
