I have suffered for years with different meds. I can't even name them all.  And I'm not a drug rep. I'm a real sufferer. I have especially had problems with nausea and constipation. I hated using magnesium citrate and eneimas all the time and have just a few days with less nausea.  but I would have diarrhea for a while.  After another colonscopy, my doctor took me off my prescription and said loudly, "Take Miralax daily!"  My pics showed some polyps and mild irritation.  I thought I had gallstones with all the nausea.

I took the Miralax, got diarrhea. BUT, I take it twice a week and for the first time I have no nausea and normal bowel movements!!!!!!!!!!!!  First time in my life!  Had this problem since childhood.  I've seen normal BM's in public restrooms. So I know what they look like!

I don't know how long it will last but it has been months now and I don't care. It has been heaven so far. No nauses or BM problems.  I think I can store the eneimas and bottles of Magnesim Citrate out of the bathroom now.

nyizhon, I use miralax twice a week. First thing that has ever helped my constipation. I am on morphine sulfate 30mg slow release twice a day. I have tried a lot of things but miralax is the only one that helped tillie1

The main ingredient in Miralax is Polyethylene Glycol, which is also used in many colon preps (such as GoLytely and others) before colonoscopy. I'm glad you found something that works for you.
