OMG yes, and it is terrible. I tried it once since I take opiates... yuck. Now I eat prunes, they taste better and don't cause bloating, foul poots, and sticky poops that can take a whole roll of toilet paper to clean up after. I have first hand experience... yuck. PRUNES!

Thanks for the vote of confidence Ms. Fino. I appreciate your sense of humor. The truth is funny... I'm just relating my personal experience ... PRUNES OR PRUNE JUOCE with PULP!!!

PS... Febreeze helps with the poor fumigation.
Peace out sweets...

Any medication can disagree with your body. Miralax is a laxative, so yes, it can cause those problems. I would stop taking it for a few days and see if your problems go away. If they do, then you have your answer. Try senna instead. It is a natural pill, made from the leaves of the senna tree. Also, it is very cheap.

I have recently found that by increasing my magnesium to 500mg a day takes care of my IBS & constipation problems. May be worth a try. Just a thought...

I meant to add that my gastro doc suggested miralx, & I hated it! Never knew when it was going to work... Mary

I drink it with diet peach snapple. It doesn't bother me at all.
