A member asked:
Do i have to eat right before taking miralax (polyethylene glycol)? or does it not matter and i can take it before bedtime?

No matter...: It does not matter if you take MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) with food or not. The important thing is to follow the glass of MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) with at least another 8 ounce glass of water. If you are drinking it at night do so at least an hour before bedtime. Good luck!

No: Use exactly as directed on the label (if it doesn't specify that you should take it with food, then you don't have to). Miralax (polyethylene glycol) should not be used chronically without doctor's supervision. If you have chronic constipation which does not get better with lifestyle modifications (e.g. Drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day, eating high fiber diet, exercising), get evaluated by a GI doctor.
