"I've been taking ClearLax for a little over a week now. I kept complaining to my wife for years about bowel movement troubles. She told me if I'm having so much trouble to buy some Miralax. I found ClearLax with the same ingredients as Miralax. Anyway, my constipation was driving me crazy and was painful. I was having trouble with hemorrhoids, stomach cramps, bowel movements, and etc., you name it. I no longer use Preparation H and feel great."

"I take bisacodyl and 1 cap of ClearLax (in water or Sprite/7Up) before bedtime - it works brilliantly for me. Highly recommend that you at least try ClearLax; you don't have to use the Dulcolax/major tablets with it, but that's what works for me... so everyone's body is different. I have not experienced any upset tummy as I did with Dulcolax; but with the major and ClearLax, I feel perfectly fine and good to get on with my day after noon..."

"Following horrific food poisoning, I became extremely constipated. Could not poop for roughly 2 weeks. I have IBS-C, and ClearLax (polyethylene glycol 33500) is the only medication that has helped me. Three days post taking ClearLax, I had a loose bowel movement that was smelly. But after I cut the amount of ClearLax from 17g to 10g, BMs have been relatively normal. Side effects: queasiness after drinking ClearLax with water, rumbling stomach, excessive gas, and looser BMs. There is a slight flavor to it, almost tastes like artificial cucumber. Highly recommend this product."

"It works, but is hard to regulate dose. I always eat a lot of fruits and veggies, so sometimes I cut down the dosage, then stop going. Some others have results in a day or two, takes at least 3 to 4 days for me. Eating the way I do, it's hard to regulate, especially having to wait for results. I really like the product, just sometimes it works too well!!!"

"I struggle with constipation and other stomach issues. This stuff works better than almost everything I have tried. It gets things moving within 2-3 days after I take the first dose. I usually stick to every other-day dosing when things get backed up. I like to pair this with IBgard/FDgard. It works wonders. Highly recommend!!!"

"I haven't used the bathroom like I was supposed to in the last month. I have taken Fleet and other laxatives, but they just did not work. I felt so bloated, and I never stopped eating. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to the doctor, and she prescribed me something to take. The medicine that she prescribed for me wasn't covered by my insurance, so I went to Walmart and saw that ClearLax had almost the same ingredients. I bought some apple juice and mixed it together. About an hour later, I really used the bathroom, and I feel great. If it works for me, it is some good stuff, and I am serious."
