Doctor Chung suggested a year ago after I had hemorrhoid surgery that people should consider taking MiraLAX daily FOREVER if you feel like your body needs it. I tried several different options but MiraLAX has been the answer. Every day ( 1 cap ) plus a veggie smoothie everyday for fiber and lots of water and thank God I’ve never been so regular. Thank you Doctor Chung 🙏🏻❤️

I’ve been taking Miralax daily for years. My rear end is a train wreck after decades of constipation. I take a cap full of Miralax in my coffee and a couple hours later with breakfast a tablespoon of Metamucil daily. I go daily sometimes multiple times. I wish I was normal but as a senior it’s just not the case. I do what works.

[@gizziebee]

Miralax was literally life changing for me, and I would shout that from the roof tops. Experimenting with dose was key, but I will happily take it daily forever if needed. 🎉

[@vincenzowl]

Great info, thanks doc. You mentioned in another video Miralax is safe for long term use daily. Just wanted to point that out in case others were wondering. As for myself, I take a half tablespoon of psyllium husk in the morning and a capful of Miralax before dinner. Plenty of water throughout the day. I’ve never been so regular and all my constipation has gone away.

[@randylynnr]

Thank you for clear instructions. I just got out of the hospital diagnosed with Pan Colitis and treated with antibiotics for 7 days and diagnosed wrong by ER. We asked for a GI consult. I was pooping small amount all day long and for days. The go lightly prep for the colonoscopy. It did make me ill drinking it, but I slowed down. Suddenly I felt a pain I never had before. I was in pain for a week, nausea, wrenching and all the pain meds they gave me helped to total constipate me even more. It felt like I was birthing a poop. When it passed, the flow of water was amazing and the pain I was in all week long. I was impacted with poop, not colitis! I had a new GI dr and the Colin was normal with slow digestion. So I have been using miralax. It is trial and diarrhea, lessened to 1/2 a cap… still same, so I am trying less while talking to my new GI dr. Thank you for your videos, they really do help,

[@sandycalhoun9496]

My colon Dr told me to take daily. It does work, but I didn't know I was to take at meal time. Wish no I knew sooner. Thank you so, so much for giving easy to understand information.... especially to us seniors!

[@mike9147]

Great advice Dr. I've used Miralax for years. I agree, sometime only a third of a cap is plenty! Start slow and increase if needed. Great stuff indeed!

Thanks for sharing!

[@gloriamaurer6007]

Love you Dr. Chung. The way you present the colon topics is so refreshing.

[@InternetDude]

I took this many, many times due to hemorrhoids. My advice is do not take a full dose unless you need to. I usually took a partial dose just enough as needed to get the job done. In the long run I have switched to a very low fibre diet and it has helped immensely. I was told by the doc that did the banding to go high fibre with Metamucil supplement and it just caused a really upset stomach and more hemorrhoids.

[@vadeultramusic]

miralax got me through a rough patch of back to back hemorrhoid flair ups. i was suffering horribly over the summer. (also due to stress) i started watching your videos then i asked my doctor about miralax because my dad used to take it, & he said it was safe. i usually avoid medication at all cost but it has become a saving grace for me. i usually eat in the evening after work so i take a cap with my meal & it works phenomenal! i keep a bottle on me everywhere i go lol before miralax i tried different diets and the whole “eat more fiber” etc it would help but sometimes you have to listen to your body. i’ve been taking it for about 4 months with zero negative side effects. i started slow but one full cap a day with my first meal does the job for me.

[@HungerSTR1KE]

I'm young and I take a Tablespoon daily (about 10-11 grams). I had a surgery and had to go on some medications that simply dried out my body on purpose after the surgery. So I needed the strong water bonding that Miralax provided to keep me pooping. Once I found my perfect dose, I just decided to stay on it because it truly combated the ups and downs of being on daily medicines that dehydrated me on purpose. It's a relief to be in better control and not to have to wonder when the constipation will strike me. There's nothing worse than constipation.

Thanks Dr Chung-your videos are really helpful for me. I had surgery 6 weeks ago for rectal prolapse. Miralax has been helpful in my recovery when dealing with constipation but caused me to go potty (#2) way too many times a day. I went ahead and tried Metamucil for about week. It seemed to work somewhat but then constipation eventually circled back to me. I’m now having to try too reset my system somehow. Any advice?

In Europe we have Movicol, which I think is the equivalent of Miralax. My doctor recommended it to me. But in this case it's a liquid and not a powder like Miralax and also contains Propylene Glycol. Should I switch to the powdered version of Movicol or continue with the ready-to-drink sachets? What do you think, Dr Chung?

Hi doctor, this isnt related to the video but i figured id try asking here... So for the past month ive been suffering from extreme constipation. Ive been able to let out like a small pellet once a week, if that. Now im starting to feel like a pressure sensation on the left side of my tummy. I think its where the colon is. I'm assuming that there is poop stuck there from this past month and ive tried laxatives and nothing. Im scared and embarrassed to go to the hospital but i dont know what to do from home? Oh... Some helpful info, im addicted to opiates. Ive suffered from constipation because of it, for years. But ive always been able to go at least 2-3 times a week. Its never been this bad.

[@jonboz7585]

@@AmalAli-dd9tt This is my personal experience, not from an MD. I’ve had hemorrhoids for 50 years. They do not go away, but you can live with them if you take precautions: stool softeners like Miralax, lots of water, exercise, veggies and fruits, definitely do not PUSH to poop. When you push, they will enlarge. If your roids are smaller, then consider banding. Mine are too large for that procedure, so I would need surgery which I am avoiding. I wish I had banding done earlier, followed by taking precautions. Otherwise, if you get constipated and push, more will be generated.

Doctor, I have an abscess right next to my fissure. the abscess burst on its own and ive been using antibiotics. Should I keep applying GTN or would it irritate the abscess? theyre right next to each other so its hard to avoid. And my GP said they cant put a dressing on the abscess as it is in an awkward positioning (halfway in). The fissure keeps healing with this thin layer of whiteish skin and retearing that layer in (imo) what seems to be the final stages of healing. theres no pain from fissure. ive been drinking water, stool softner, etc too.
