chilihot59 156 Posted September 19, 2012 I'm taking Miralax now every day like I was told to. Not being hardheaded anymore!!! Also, being more diligent with the amount of fluids I'm taking in has helped alot. Have you tried Milk of Magnesia, etc.? But, call your doctor and let them know you're having issues and see what they advise! Happy Pooping:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jolie_KeMi 345 Posted September 19, 2012 I have this this problem from time to time as I am anemic and have to take Iron . I drink an extra bottle of Water. If that doesn't help, I take one of those little blue E-lax pills at night. The next day I'm back to normal. You can try that or consume more Fiber. Metamucil (sp) has a tasteless Fiber mixture you put into Water. I'm not sure how tasteless it is tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzjag 107 Posted September 19, 2012 Ugh this feels horrible. . I have to take something NOW but have to go to work. There's been "movement" but it's not adequate. Feeling sick and nauseous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted September 19, 2012 I take 3 colace and they work great.... I tried Miralax, spent a lot of money and it took a couple days to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susanfaye 162 Posted September 19, 2012 I just got off the phone with my surgeons office for this. She said 15ml of milk of magnesia three times a day, citrucel, and to eat watermelon. I have been taking the mom but not three times a day. She said to call back tomorrow if I'm still not moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alithinos 19 Posted September 19, 2012 Oof. So sorry. MoM cleared me out almost immediately, but it can be rough on your system, so only use if if the doc says it is okay. My doc has me on 2 colace a day and miralax for 2 weeks. If I'm regular at that point, I can go every other day. It is pretty gentle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susanfaye 162 Posted September 20, 2012 My doc told me to drink lots of Water (more than 80 oz), eat watermelon, and take mom 15ml three times a day. It worked like a charm. I actually had to look up the watermelon, as I was sceptical. But, water melon is actually a natural colon cleanser. Who knew? I am now going regularly without a hassle.
