Constipation: I wonder if you are still taking the mirilax? if you only took it for 7 days and then quit and now you are having the same symptoms, I would think that you need to keep taking the miralax (polyethylene glycol).The nice thing about miralax (polyethylene glycol) is that it is not absorbed into your body and you can change the dose so that you don't get constipated and don't have diarrhea.It sounds like this is something you need to take daily
