Hi Jude,
I use "Miralax" and it is like a miracle to my bowels. There is also a
prescription capsule that also adds water to the bowels and help on bowel
management. It is called "Amitiza". I have taken both at times but w/ both of
them I get small accidents. I think because both of them has similar
properties to the bowel. I have not researched this, but what I've been told
by medical professionals.
Now "Miralax" as I've seen on tv lately is non-prescription, but I've used it
for years and it is not addictive in any way; still works the same after all
these years. Amitiza is a new pill and I guess for those who don't like
Miralax it is available in prescription and is just a capsule. I drink my
Miralax in orange juice & you can't taste it at all - there are no other drinks
that work as well, I've tried.
I'm sorry you have such a rough go of the bm program, but perhaps one of
these will work for you better.

When I asked about renal failure Gunny informed me that renal failure is
actually a kidney problem. So my medical Ignorance showed up again. I was
refering to having problems with bowel incontinance. I appoligize for the
mistake and I hope noone was confused as I was. Sorry, Rick I made a correction
in the subject area of this e-mail. I think that is the rectal area back there.
