Suggest Treatment For Watery Stool While On Miralax
I recently saw a gastroenterologist about my chronic constipation and stomach pain. She recommended I usage a capful of Miralax everyday as well as a high fiber diet. I have taken miralax for three days and now can’t leave the house because of constant watery stool. I have to wear a thick pad because of leakage. After I stop taking miralax what do I do next? My email is YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Loose motions are due to the propulsive effect of Miralax to flush the colon. Recommendations at present
- Stop to take further doses of Miralax.
- Consume more liquids.
- Get a prescription of probiotics as Bifilac or else with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
