Anyone experienced with ways to speed up colon transit time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MiraLax (polyethylene glycol): Some people have a very slow colon transit time and those people tend to have a history of chronic constipation. There are some prescription medications that will speed up colon transit time. Another option is to use something like MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) that keeps fluid in the colon allowing the stools to remain soft.
