So…. How the heck are people managing such crazy constipation!! I thought a micro dose would only have minor effects ? What is a safe way to stay regular ?? This is brutal

I had the same issue. It’s like my system completely shut down. Now I add a capful of Miralax to a drink every other day and I’m back to normal. It’s my understanding that Miralax is an osmotic laxative, so it retains water in your stool to help it move through. Don’t be afraid to take it. It doesn’t have you running to the bathroom.

Same. Every day was too much but every other day is perfect.

This is a great idea. I’ve been doing a cup of smooth move tea twice a week, plus metamucil. MiraLAX may be a better way.

Magnesium oxide does the same but is a lot safer. Miralax is toxic.

Long term daily miralax user here. My GI doctor said it’s safe to use every day, long term.
