Joanmarie, I would be careful about relying on Miralax. It's not supposed to be taken long term and could do more harm than good down the road. I'm glad it helps but finding why you are having the problem is better.

You could have a narrowing of your intestines somewhere. You could need more fiber and water. There are so many reasons for these symptoms.

These days, I really get upset by doctors when they throw drugs at people without figuring out why they are not feeling well first. It's cheap and lazy doctoring and it is dangerous.
