I do see a gastro. That is our med plan, except he wants me to take 2 bottles of mag.citrate twice a week. I used to do it once a week, but I haven't been compliant lately because I just can't stomach it.
I'm actually due for a follow-up with the NP. I have to call Monday to make the appointment.

Going once a week has to be already pretty solid. I hear you about the mag.citrate; I just about throw up. I have taken it cold and with a straw and have to hurry and lay down or I will heave. I just can't stomach it.
As I mentioned before, some Articles say the extra fibre often can really make things that are already too solid even more solid; adding to the constipation. It's really a merry-go-round. My GI doctor told me a few years ago, as long as I am on this medication; I will need to stay on Miralax daily. She was right.
Hope you soon get things moving a little quicker than once a week.
