So I took MiraLax last night for my IBS C. It's a laxative that my doc put me on. It took me four anxiety-produced hours to swallow the powder in my water (after my colonoscopy I was TERRIFIED to touch a laxative!!). Still no signs of relief...I'll keeo you posted.
I'm not too keen on taking a laxative--but I don't know what else to try! The citrucel didn't help, the benefiber didn't help, probiotics haven't done the trick, metamucill didn't, and zelnorm didn't......but if anyone has ANY other suggestions than a laxative, I would be SO GREATFUL! My doc. doesn't have time to talk to me...he just prescribes something and tries to get me off the phone between his other patients as soon as possible. How frustrating! I'm concerned that my doc. said if this laxative works he will put me on it long-term. Is that really safe?
Thakns for letting me vent--it's been rough since my IBS diagnosis about 3 weeks ago. It really helps knowing you're all here for me...thanks again!
