Ask your dr about miralax. I've taken it for years now. Its an osmotic prescription laxative. It works by pulling water into your colon, no hard chemicals. Do a board search and you'll get all kinds of info on it!

Hi Beth, No, it's not. It is a dissacharide sugar that we
cannot digest so it is inert just like polyethylene glycol

does. It possibly may even work better and have less side
effects than Miralax. I don't know, I've never tried nor
do I know anybody who has. -Bob

I tired Miralax and it made me sick as well.
Every laxitive I've tried has made me really ill.
My bowels can't handle them.
