Good luck

Lorie,
Are you trying to tell me something here? I am wild with all kinds of issues ?

My daughter has Cerebral Palsy and gets constipation from that..and she has been using Miralax for years...it does work great..was not aware it was over the counter now though...hmmm wonder if that means insurance will not cover it anymore

I also added Benefiber to one of my protein shakes if needed. (tasteless and gritless)

Well seems like this is an issue for many people.

I took some Stool Softners yesterday at night and they worked today. I feel so much better.
