Maybe...: Do you have ibs, & if so has it been constipation-predominant or are you a stool alternator? What are you hoping to achieve by taking MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) (& is it time to stop)? Do you feel the diarrhea reflects a therapeutic benefit of miralax, (polyethylene glycol) or perhaps some other issue? Please address the responses to these questions with your doctor who can best advise you in the context of your overall health record.
