What happens if i eat miralax like pixy stix?

It should work that way-it may get absorbed a little differently but it will have the desired effect since the capsule breaks open in your stomach/intestine after you swallow it. If you need help with constipation treatment, see GI. Good luck!

In general, taking MiraLAX with a candy like Pixie Stix, should not cause any problems
