gamergirl 4,610 Posted December 17, 2013 I wanted something that would re-set my own system so I started to use Align probiotic capsules. I use one a day and it has made a huge difference for me. The miralax etc work well for emergencies, but ideally we'd do something that keeps us happy full time. 1 CoffeeGrinDR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtlantaRed 651 Posted December 17, 2013 I came home and immediately started miralax, then the next day miralax and colace, the third day miralax, colace and milk of magnesia. Was a rough day, but the third day took care of it. Don't wait any longer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livvsmum 2,369 Posted December 18, 2013 Funny...I just called my surgeon about this. He said for the long term to do benefiber every day, but to get things moving to use a stool softener. I had been using miralax and colace together before calling him and he said he would prefer me not to use the miralax. Weird because I thought that was pretty safe. He said it was ok to continue the colace and add benefiber. I wish these doctors could all get together and make their minds up on a single recommendation!
