Yes, I drink a 28oz bottle of Gatorade with (7) doses of Mirliax dissolved in it over the course of about 30-45 minutes, then another one of the same in about the same amount of time. It's easier to do if you take it more slowly than that tho because it's heavy and if you drink it too fast you can get an uncomfortable full feeling, but I just like to get it over with.

Oh my gosh Kay; Have you done anything at all??

In order to keep something moving regularly; I can't miss taking the 3 doses a few hours apart every day; then after doing that, I take a4th dose in a few days instead of the 3. (Medication constipation articles often mentions not taking bulk type; like Metamucil, etc; because they increases bulk which is already a problem with constipation. (The reason I use only Miralax).

This is the only way I keep things moving; (but it's more of a thick liquid..uggh),but I know I am not emptying out completely which should probably be done at times. I thought maybe a colon cleanse would be good to try in between.
