A member asked:
Is it okay to use miralax (polyethylene glycol) daily indefinitely? i'm 30, eat a healthy high fiber diet, but suffer from autonomic dysfunction.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Keep checking in with your doc and keep trying other non med things, like water, fiber, exercise, etc. Ultimately it's a decision about the risk of not having bowel movements and the complications from that like bowel obstruction or colon cancer or diverticulosis vs the risk of the med.
