Meat week - Let's talk poop!

  But seriously folks, we all know this can be an issue.  The last time we did AMAW I used softeners and they did NOT work.  Reading post from those that are in the "know" appear to use MiraLAX.  I have a couple of questions.

How many doses a day did you take?

What is the best way to drink it?  Hot drink or cold?

Thank you

I never, ever have a problem. But I get a lot of fat in my diet. Maybe that explains it.

 Maybe that is the problem?

1 capful every morning in my hot tea. Or every other morning depends how things are going. Haha. 

Thanks chassibi

Once some of the savvy Menu Posters turned me on to MIRALAX (Canadians its called Restoralax here) I have used it DAILY ever since and that has been for a few months now.  AND I LOVE IT!

I make a cup of Vanilla Hazelnut coffee daily in my Keurig machine to go in my stainless steel traveller mug, I add one Splenda and one capful of the Miralax powder.  I then add my lactose free milk and put the lid on my traveller mug. I get in the car, shake the traveller mug a few times and VIOLA. No taste, no order, no colour. Its been a GOD send and I now "go" daily.  

Miralax works soooo good that I actually turned a few of my NON WLS friends who have bathroom troubles on to it and they use it daily too and love it.

Tasteless, odourless and colourless. I have also mixed it into my Snapple Diet Peach tea and its fantastic!!!!

Happy mixing!!!!

Thank you! I seem to only need it when we do meat week. But Grim pointed out it may be a fat thing too   So we shall see! Thanks again!

Great to know, Daisy! I'm in Ottawa and once I read about Miralax here I went looking for it, thought I was going to have to cross the border. Thanks for the info!

I use Miralax. 2-3 capfulls per day on one dose -inmy coffee- first thing am. I started with 1 capful. Increased to 2.  the BMws there - but still hard. I increased that daily until I got runs - complete BM.  then I decreased that until I got formed but still soft BM. 

I now judge how much I need based on my morning BM - easy and compete - stay the same as the day before; not complete - add 1/2 serving. too much - reduce by 1/2 serving.

some days I take 2 some days 3.5 capfuls.   

I guess the key here is everyone is different!  Thanks...I am going to Costco and buy some after work...  Have a great weekend
