MIRALAX (polyethylene glycol) IS PROBABLY: The easiest, most gentle thing to try, other than plenty of fruits and veggies as well as lots of water.

Fruits and vegetable: Slads, whole grains are best and don't bother with commercial products if you are eating these. Jusat as important is drinking enough fluids regardless of the source of fiber. Drink 80-100 ounces of non caffeinated, non alcoholic fluids daily.
