Miralax roulette

[twois]

I've been horribly blocked up since flaring up (this is how I roll, I never did join the D club) and I just can't take it anymore, so this morning I finally started slipping a little Miralax into my coffee, OJ, whatever... now, this wouldn't be a concern, except I have a pharmacology final at 8am tomorrow! It's a dangerous game, but some of us live for the thrill, I guess. (I'd be okay without the thrill if it meant a little relief, to be honest! Just not in the middle of my exam! :blush

It only softens the stool rather than just blasting it out like a laxative. When I get plugged up, I usually take it everyday for a week. Most of the time that does the trick. I doubt you will be running to the john in a panic so to speak....

At normal doses, yes... at higher-than-normal doses, it can work faster. (Hence why it's now used as the "gentler" bowel prep!) Usually if I take 4-5x the normal dose it gets me going that day. It's the only thing I can use that doesn't turn me into a giant crampy mess. :-/
