Good snowy morning doctors! is it dangerous or odd/unusual to have or get a bowel movement within one hour of taking miralax instead of within 1 to 3 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope!: In a word: nope. Especially if you’re not having any other symptoms. Sometimes it’s a coincidence. Definitely speak to your physician if you’re having any other symptoms including pain or bloody stools.

Hi doctors. I have not had a bowel movement since Monday morning, although 3 days is not unusual for me. I have Colace and Miralax at home. Should I take either of these, or something else, and how do I know when I should discontinue the medication?
