Probably OK: If you see your provider annually, you’re most likely OK. If you haven’t yet, go ahead and make an appointment so the provider can review your medication list, check some blood tests (CBC chemistries thyroid) and if necessary , refer to have your intestines checked. But again, if you see your provider regularly everything will probably be fine.

Hi. My Dr suggested that I take Miralax every other day bc of no bm..I get a bm around 1 hour later, but on the directions it says to expect a bm in 1 to 3 days. Why do I get bm in such a shorter period of time..is this odd? When do I stop taking it?
I go days without producing a bm. I take softners and miralax (polyethylene glycol). I worry something is seriously wrong. I eat everyday but no bm occurs for several days.
I am taking Miralax every 3 days because of no bm..assuming that the Miralax will work, how do I know when to stop or to reduce taking the Miralax? Should I also take Benefiber or Metamucil, or should Miralax be enough for now?
Can you take miralax and Metamucil together? And do you need to produce a BM every day? Or can it be every other day?
Is oxy-powder safe to take while breastfeeding? I CAN NOT go to the bathroom. Maybe 1x every 10 days. Miralax/Metamucil/fiber one nothing works. I dont eat trash and drink a liter of water a day. I am miserable?
