    I have IC and chronic pain. Because I have to take medications that cause constipation, I need something to counter act that. I've tried everything! Seriously. I kept reading about MiraLax and decided to give it a shot. Why not. I was surprised that it worked in less then 12 hours for me. I used it for 5 days in a row at first and now I use it every other day, it was like clockwork. No nasty side effects like cramps, backache, headache, heartburn, nasty taste, hard to use. It was amazing. I mixed it in my hot cocoa the first time and still do that. You really can't taste it at all. I've mixed it in water, iced-tea, juice, hot tea, whatever. I recommend waiting to add ice to drinks after you mix it in. It will dissolve faster and not settle at the bottom of the glass. The only side effect I have is gas but I have IC so I'm used to it. This is a life saver. I've gone weeks without any relief so I'm a HUGE fan of MiraLax. I just ordered my next bottle today.

    Sadly this did not work for me. I have chronic constipation and feel like I've tried everything. I used up the 8 oz bottle of this but nothing happened. I had no side effects, or any effect at all. The great thing about it though is that its completely tasteless and odorless. I put it in my juice, smoothies, even oatmeal. I wish it had worked for me but for anyone who's hesitant, give it a try. Its very easy to incorporate into your diet.

      Comments about MiraLAX Laxative, Powder, 8.3 oz:

      I love this product because it dissolves so easily in my cherry Kool-Aid. There is no aftertaste just the cherry flavor of my Kool-Aid. The good news it also works-- keeps me regular! I am sure I will probably use this for the rest of my life I'm so glad my doctor recommended it.

            Was recommended by gastro-enterologist as i suffer from constipation but mostly when I TRAVEL, and it's the only product which works for me. it's important to adjust the dosage and decide whether to take it on a daily basis or a few times a week, whatever works, to avoid diarrhea and going to the bathroom all day.

              I used to get the Rx'd to me several years ago before it went OTC. Meds I take occasionally slow things down. I just mix this in my snapple in the morning for 3 days in a row, once a month and it keeps everything running smoothly.

              No cramping, no suddenly having to run to the bathroom, no taste, no side effects.

                        Just be careful when you start use. Use less than prescribed amount until you get the right amount for you. Example: I use 1/2 capful.

                        I was precribed this product when it was a RX only item by my gastro doctor. He told me to cut back the dosage if I experienced diarrhea or too frequent bowel movements. Although it is the least likely laxative to cause laxative dependence you have to cut back the dosage if you experience diarrhea. Find the dosage that's right for you. If you experience diarrhea too often it can destroy the friendly flora in your intestines and that can cause all types of health problems. Since going OTC my health insurance will no longer pay for it and that's a bummer.
