If your dr writes a new script for the miralax stating for you to take it twice a day, then you insurance should cover more for you! I seem to do pretty well on one cap a day, so a bottles last me about a month but I have a mail in service where I can get 3 months at a time!
I do also take Acacia, one spoon in the am mixed it with the miralax! Travelling always makes me more C!! Be sure to drink plenty of water and be sure to add in some extra insolubles! Good luck!

I think I remeber being told 30 minutes before eating or at least 2 hours after you eat and you don't have to eat anything afterwards!

My doctor told me that once you stop it you will return to baseline or worse.

I took it this morning after two days without....yes, I went much better this morning. I noticed alot more bloating without it as well. I'm just ahppy to have had a much better bm this morning. So, I guess maybe I'll do that once in awhile. We'll see what the next few days brings.

I'm currently NOT taking the Zelnorm. I have some on hand but only use them for severe pain attacks or if I get really backed up but the miralax seems to do a good job keeping things moving! At two seperate times in the past, I tried Zelnorm alone but it always stops working very quickly so I always resort back to the miralax.

Do you just take the one dose of acacia in the morning? Are you typically just taking one dose of miralax per day? I found that sometimes one dose of miralax doesn't always do it. Are your BM's pretty good? are they watery? Sorry to be so graphic. I just have very, very loose stools...more so with the combo of zelnorm. I do drink tons of water, but I hope that I can find some way to 'bulk' them up a bit, ya know? I'm going on almost a year of miralax. Thank god it's still working. How are you doing on getting pregnant? I'm now trying...this is the first month. I should be able to test by the end of this week, although I'm not counting on it happening the first try. Hey, we can get pregnant and be on miralax together...ha!

I've tried Miralax, but I don't see that it makes much of a difference. How long do you have to use it, before you see that it starts working? I'm afraid to start using it daily, and for it to stop working. I really wish I could get regular on my own. I know this is an unpleasant topic, but one of my problems is that when I go, it's a little (little, little) bit at a time through the day.
