So i took the regular dose (17g) and took it again hours later (34g) and I'm scared now. I still have not had a bowel movement. Am I going to be OK?
I took two doses of miralax in one day, am I at risk?

You will be fine. My son takes as many as 5 doses (17 gm each) in a day some times, at the advice of his gastroenterologist. At most it will make your stool liquidy and very loose. However, since you still have not had a bowel movement, I recommend taking at least 1-3 Tbsp of olive oil to help soften things up from the inside as well so if there is a blockage it will not hurt as bad. This is what I have to do for my son. It really seems to help him a lot. It is gross and he doesn't like it, but it helps.

Doctor has me taking it 4 times a day with meals it bloats me and I can't go the bathroom had to take linzess with it. I recently been breaking out with blood blisters and sores in my mouth I stop the miralax and now it is clearing up. I just take linzess now and my body is finally use to it I feel bloat free every morning.
