Is there any danger in taking a more immediate laxative while i've been using miralax (polyethylene glycol) for the past six days? inguinal hernia, need bowel movement.

Yes, risky!: You need an exam if a week on laxatives has not helped. More can be bad for you! Drink lots of water, eat fruits/veggies, try probiotics (sauerkraut, etc). But see a Dr - blockages can be dangerous and other complications can be more trouble than a visit. So, go! Go soon. Best!

Limit narcotics: Switch to Motrin / Tylenol (acetaminophen) and add a stool softener DSS
