constipation?

I am 3 weeks out. Stalled. Gassy. Bloated. I think im constipated too. Is Miralax okay to take?

I don't know about Miralax, but my doctor prescribed stool softener and also said I could take benefiber. I took the stool softener twice a day and would add benefiber in my herbal tea, or water there is absolutely no taste and it is not thick like metamucil.

I've seen several that say they take Miralax. My doctor told me milk of magnesia was safe I've also used dulcolax suppositories. It's been a rough battle for me.

Miralax is fine on a daily basis. It doesn't cause dependency from long term usage like other laxatives. I mix it in a protein smoothie and can't even tell it's there.

Here's my recipe:

8 oz skim milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup frozen sliced strawberries and a capful of Miralax. Then blend all  until smooth. You can add your choice of artificial sweetener to taste ( I use Nu Natural liquid Stevia).

Miralax daily has been the only thing to truly "encourage" things along. LOL

Thank you so much ladies!

Miralax is fine and some swear by it.... Myself, I swaer by Mag-Ox and it has changed my life.

I will tell you this too.... early out (like you are), I had 2 occasions where I needed a Fleet Enema to really get it out. Don;t be afraid to do that, especially if your constipation starts to feel compacted... all the laxitives in the world wont push through a compacted plug of you know what!!

I took som Milk of Mag and I am going but I guess I'm not sure if it got it... I mean, I feel like it may be going around the compacted part. Should I do a fleets just to be sure? UGH
