A member asked:

I am on a nerve blocker and therefore the gentle colon cleaning products don't work for. what product would work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MIRALAX (polyethylene glycol) : Softeners plus laxatives may help you-the softener keeps your stools soft while the laxative helps to push it along and out. Miralax (polyethylene glycol) ( or it's generic) has been a godsend to many and should help you-- if not, please see your doc as something else may be going on!
