Anyone try Miralax?

I am 75 and have had IBS symptoms for many years along with stress issues which do go hand in hand for me.
Have used Miralax for a while with great success must stop it after a few days due to unexpected bathroom trips at unpredictable times and places. Had anyone else used Miralax?

  1. HI Mechanicsburg,

    I'm so sorry to hear how long you've been suffering with IBS, and that you've had trouble with Miralax recently. Folks in the community have had some positive experience with Miralax, but I wanted to share with you an article about some other ways to relieve constipation:
