Miralax or Colace

Postby Cupcake » 03 Sep 2015, 17:37

Hi Everyone.

I'm in the middle of healing. I don't get mind-numbing pain for hours any more, but still do have some pain.
I use Metamucil powder, a couple fiber jellies, along with my strict diet and Colace before bed. My stools are always soft, but I'm still at the stage where I am nervous every bathroom trip. :-(

I'm considering Miralax instead of Colace as my stool softener as added insurance. My question is: is Miralax actually more of a laxative? Because I don't need my stools softer really, and I sure don't need diarrhea. But a lot of people on here swear by Miralax, and don't ever have to wonder or hope each time that their stools are soft.

Thank you.

Colace didn't work well for me so I switched to Miralax and it's worked great for at least six months. Everyone's different though, so I'm not sure I would mess with it if Colace is working for you.
