 Life Changing!Sep 19, 2011
By Tracy B
"tcreath"
I have suffered from IBS with constipation for about 15 years now and for me "regular" means bowel movements once every two weeks or so. The bloating and pain associated with that hinders my daily life and has contributed to bouts of depession in the past. Up until this point nothing, and I mean nothing, has worked and I've tried it all; fiber, stool softeners, various natural remedies (eating more fruits, more water, etc), IBS tablets, etc with little to no results. Then I read about Miralax on an IBS website and decided to give it a try. It did take a few days for it to work for me, and a few more weeks for it regulate, but I've been taking it for several months now and I feel better than I have in years. Gone is the constant bloating that would leave me feeling heavy and my clothes not fitting properly and the overall pain that comes along with that.
I love that I can put the recommended dose of Miralax into my morning coffee and it completely dissolves without adding any flavor or making the coffee thick. While I think it's a bit expensive, as I use it everyday, its money well spent for such a vast improvement to my wellbeing.

wonderful reliefAug 21, 2010
By Johnny H. Moses
After YEARS of irregularity my Dr. recommended MiraLax because it is non-habit forming. The body doesn't forget how to work as it does with many other products. I highly recommend this product, I have been using it for approx., 3-4 months. You've got to try it! You'll be glad you did.

Life changer for me.Jul 02, 2011
By That's my Jabba
"Shark"
Life changer for me. I've been taken it daily for over a year now. No gas or bloating too. Just remember it takes about 2-4 weeks for your body to get use to it and start working consistently. I was taking all the fiber ones but the gas was just killing me...this is better long term too! Taking Fiber can be very uncomfortable and I think is a tad overrated

Miralax is a miracle laxativeNov 18, 2011
By J. Bruns
I am a paraplegic as a result of a spinal cord injury 46 years ago. Before Miralax I had impacted stools to the point where I wouldn't move my bowels for sometimes 2-3 weeks, and it was very painful. I have been taking Miralax for years now, and it has made a total difference. No more impactions, and I have regular bowel movements. It has changed my life.

Helped my 12 year old sonMar 12, 2011
By trrish
My son became severely stopped up and constipated following tonsil surgery, likely due to two weeks on Lortab (vicodin). It went on for months and months, with me trying everything I knew, plus going to see various practitioners - nutritionists, colonics, Chinese medicine, etc. Then out of desparation - hard-core laxatives. They did not work. I was avoiding taking him to a gastroenterologist as I thought the only thing they would do was make him drink that horrible colonoscopy stuff and I couldn't imagine it happening. I finally realized I was out of options, and took him to the Children's Hospital Gastroenterology department in Denver. The MD we saw recommended doing a "Miralax clean-out" over a couple of days, and then using a daily amount of Miralax for several months. I had previously tried Miralax with him, but I had been afraid to use too much of it, or on an ongoing basis. He spent a lot of time with us, did some blood tests to make sure there wasn't anything else going on, and was quite reassuring that he could get my kid back on track. Man, I was skeptical.
We did the clean-out, and have kept up with the Miralax. He is coming back to being regular. The dr. tells me that after a few months, his body will be able to take it back without the Miralax.
I have read that some kids don't react well to Miralax. I can believe that. It isn't what I would call natural. The dr.'s believe that it is not harmful. Now, I know better - a lot of things that we think aren't harmful turn out to be just that. For me it's a tradeoff. There may well be a consequence for long-term Miralax usage. The dr we saw said that in 99% of the cases, it works out well. I had to take the risk. I was afraid my son was going to waste away. In our case, it turned my son's life completely back around. He had lost 20% of his body weight since his surgery, he wasn't really eating at all, and he was just....depressed. The Miralax has given him his life back. He does not seem to experience any negative side effects. I'm not sure how we would have gotten here without it, so I am quite grateful for it. He has slowly started to let go of his fear and start eating again, which has brought much relief for this mom. I have never been so worried about a kid.
Everything has a tradeoff, and every body is different. You are doing the right thing if you educate yourself and knowingly take on the possible risks, which seem to affect a minority of the users. And I learned something - I wasn't giving Western medicine enough credit for having learned more than they knew when I was a kid.The first week or so, you or your child will feel bloated, but that passes.
Good luck to anyone dealing with this problem -- I have empathy for you and your situation.
