Consistency!: Take that MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) every day. It is very safe. It just pulls water into the colon. Drink more water, and eat more fruits and veggies! there is a new medicine out, linzess, which is like an "anti-depressant" for your colon. Works great, in capsule form. You never want to try to fix constipation, you want to prevent it, because it can truly cause many future health problems like diverticulosis.
