Hi, Augie! It took two weeks before Miralax did anything for me, and two more weeks after that before I got "stable." You have to play around with your dosage a bit, according to my doctor, to figure out what works for you. For examle, 17 grams is WAY too much for me...nothing but diarrhea all day. I take about 3/4 of a capful now, and that works to keep me normal. But I do sometimes get the all day, skinny stuff...mostly if I haven't kept up my fiber intake.

Luna bars, the south beach diet bars (high protein and hardly any sugars, and the zone bars. I don't know if the last two are deemed "IBS" safe, but they have been safe for me. I either have them alone, or sometimes with an orange or peeled apple. I stopped the SFS because the tastes of all of them made me "gag" with my pregnancy...many things just gross me out still...so that's why I upped my miralax to twice per day...so, I'm taking two full doses per day now to kinda make up for not taking any SFS right now or anything. Probiotics and digestive enzymes aren't known to be totally safe or not with pregnancy, so I'm trying to avoid all that for right now, which sucks, but oh well. I've never really done the "diet"...I've experimented in the past but it didn't really make a difference. I just base my diet on what has been good for me in the past and avoided things that have upset me. NO, I haven't taken 2 doses of miralax for the last year, only recently I started that. I'm 5 1/2 months along now and it's a boy!! Thanks for asking!
