A member asked:
Can you take miralax and metamucil together? and do you need to produce a bm every day? or can it be every other day?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
There is wide variation in what "normal" folks have regarding BMs per day. One does not "need" to have a BM every day or even every other day. Everyone is different.

You may if it does not cause diarrhea. 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!
