Have chronic constipation. Dr wants me to try Linzess but I would prefer Phillips non stimulant laxative twice a week. Is it safe to use regularly?
I've seen different types of OTC laxatives (stimulant, saline, stool softeners, etc.). Which would be best for occasional treatment of constipation?
I have IBS with constipation. I've tried miralax (polyethylene glycol) but it didn't help. I occasionally take stimulant laxatives as a last resort. What can I do relieve the symptoms? I eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.
I have been constipated for 5 days and desperately want relief. Would taking a double dose of Miralax (34mg) help with this? Or would a stimulant laxative be more effective? Can I eat even though Ive been constipated this long?
