I was always trying something new. I tried Dannon's Activia, thinking it would help me with any problems a new pain medicine might cause, and ended up needing a colonoscopy!

MiraLax itself is OTC now.
I buy it at Walmart. There is nothing as good as this product.

If she doesn't NEED it then why not prunes added to the diet, or prune juice, which can be cut with other juices if it tastes too sweet.

Cheaper Miralax
Costco has it 2 for the price of 1. The amount I've saved at Costco (on drugs alone) payed for the membership.

Think I will try the Miralax and Fiber-One sm
bars. I tried the Activia yogurt and it seemed to work, but I am not crazy about the taste.

MiraLax changed my life. LOL
Seriously, though, eating a high-fiber diet did not change my issues until I met MiraLax.

I am also having some success with probiotics.
