Just went to the GI yesterday and he is having me try some samples to use in addition to my miralax. I took my first one this morning, and had 3 bowel movements already! Yes, it was D, but like you said, that can be common. Miralax alone just doesn't do it for me, unless I take over the recommened dosage. I had tried Zelnorm last fall before trying the miralax and it didn't do anything, BUT, I mentioned to the doctor I was taking alot of over the counter laxatives and even taking them while on the Zelnorm, so it sounds like that's why it didn't work before. How long have you been on it? Are you taking it 1 or 2 times daily, try 2 if only taking it 1, and are you making sure to take it on an EMPTY stomach? I asked the doc about long term and you can use it longer the 6 weeks. Some people may need to stop for a few days and start back up, but they say the same thing about Miralax, and Miralax can be used however long you want to. Again, another conflicting type of answer about a medication/supplement. I'll keep you posted on the Zelnorm and its success/or no success.
