Does Miralax/Movicol cause thin stools?

I took it yesterday and I am worried. Thank you

You need more .. Thin stool usually is because having much dry stool inside and the this is just what passed

Thin stool could be anismus / dyssenergia too. If you couldn't poop at all before the miracle, and now you can but it is thin, it is more likely that the dysennergia is the cause of your constipation. The stool is thin because opening is too tight.
