A member asked:
Can you take miralax at night if you take escitalopram in the morning? i have ibs and am having issues with constipation and bloating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You could. Alternatively, you may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
