Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 27, 2016 Miralax is not meant to be used long term. It's ok for a few days. It can cause kidney failure if used long term. My mom died from kidney failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christinamo7 4,042 Posted May 27, 2016 this has been my only real issue since surgery. I take a stool softener, MOM capsule and benefiber. Doctor said if I still need the MOM at 6 months they will send me to a GI doctor who can prescribe something that would be better long term. I'm just happy that things are moving along now.
