A member asked:
Would it be advisable to use miralax (polyethylene glycol) for a few days..just to see if i have stool that is not being eliminated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have: No symptoms i would avoid that experiment. It is best not to train the bowels especially if you have no symptoms of distension, pain, constipation, or nausea. Eat a high residue diet, get plenty of exercise and drink a fair amount of water. Let your GI tract handle itself.
