I used to be reactive, using Milk of Magnesia when I got constipated, along with daily stool softeners but that definitely was not working for me.
Now I've had many months of success avoiding constipation by pro-actively taking Miralax each night with Senna. The caveats are, I also try to drink a lot of fluids, and eat a lot of fiber (especially non-carb fiber from fruits & veggies, and "good carbs" fiber from beans). >________________________________ > From: Derrick Winegardner <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 9:27 PM >Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Miralax > > >i drink mirlax every other morning. >it does not make me go, it binds water to stool. > >i take 4 senakote tabs the night before to go............ >drink milkofmagnesium. it sill make you go. >derrick w > >On 4/3/2013 8:59 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > >>Has anyone ever taken miralax and did it take long to work?
