As mentioned, don't worry if someone didn't like something or it didn't work. You HAVE to try for yourself. I have found things on these boards useful and also alot of it not useful at all. I think the most useful thing you can do for yourself is experiment. It sucks, it costs money, but I have finally gotten to the point to where I don't have to run out and buy some Dulcolax anymore. It took me awhile, but now I've got the Miralax, soluble fiber (whether its Acacia, Citrucel, Benefiber...you don't have to spend tons of money Beth) they all work, some you may just have to take a little more of than others, and the magnesium. I just want to try those herbs because they are more natural. Miralax is not bad for you like most laxatives, but you can end up relying on it to go #2....that's why I still want to try other things, but at least have a way to go in the meantime, ya know? Do you have health insurance? Miralax is pretty pricey, about $60 a bottle, which last one month, I don't have insurance right now, but get the generic brand, Glycolax, which is $45...still expensive, but better. Hopefully maybe your doctor will get some more samples in soon though. Start increasing your citrucel though.... It is confusing on here sometimes, but just don't obsess over what you read and try not to read EVERYTHING either and become overwhelmed. None of us are experts, so don't take everything too serious. I'm here for you!!! If you do ever quit the boards or just want to send me some personal emails, do so at jaworski1@cox.net anytime!!
