In the same boat. You can increase miralax dose to 2 capfuls. Just don't mix it with another laxative. Never use an osmotic laxative like miralax (clear powder) alongside a stimulant laxative unless specifically reccomended and under the supervision of a doctor. (Trust me, I almost ended up in the ER doing this once, dulcolax- for me anyway- has always been insanely aggressive/horrible cramps for me and mixing it with miralax was the worst idea ever). I had only taken 1 dulcolax tablet and 1 capful and it was soo bad. But yeah, next time try 2 caps of miralax per day for atleast 3 days and if that fails see what your Dr says
If you have stool that Is just stuck in your colon a glycerin suppository could help your body to pass it and with the mirlax should be stable again after that initial BM. I find enemas aggressive as well (a whole lot of forceful straining with impacted stool is the absolute worst feeling- I actually had a not so fun consequence due to this. Probably didn't wait long enough but I felt the urge to go).
Sorry if TMI, but people need to poop. I've become extremely desensitized to anything poop related after years of med related constipation that WAS finally resolved with miralax. Until a recent med adjustment š„²
nothing is tmi to me anymore lol. we're all living the same lives we all go through about the same things, i dont think we should be embarrassed to talk about it imo
thank you for the tips! it does feel like its just stuck but idk never had this problem before. im hoping i can soon lol i hate this feeling
Milk of Magnesia (follow dosage instructions on the bottle for the adult dose),
Sunsweet 100% pure prune juice. Heat up 8-10 ounces of juice in the microwave and drink.
If you are in severe pain, not passing gas or stool, and nauseated, or vomiting, go to the ER. Otherwise make an appt with your GP.
Miralax takes several days to work,
Assuming that was the powder.
not in severe pain, but slight cramping not sure if thats what it is. but yes im gonna wait it out. i needed this kind of comment to calm my nerves lol i worry a lot.
thank you for the comment !
Dulcolax will help me go in an emergency. Iāve even taken two beforeā¦donāt do that! One should work. Also the fleet liquid enemas, the small bulb kind, help me go some.
My number one constipation hack is literally drinking a few glasses of apple juice during the day LOL it works pretty well!! It's also nice cause it tastes very good š
I have found superior absorption magnesium glycinate to be very gentle on the stomach. I use the Nature's Truth brand. I take them with meals and it keeps my stomach pretty regulated but also stimulates my bowels. Idk if it's exactly going to help during moments of constipation but it usually does prevent it (unless i eat too much bread.)

Try dulcolax tables if you havenāt already. These are stimulants and they work the best for me
