I am sorry things are still too formed. I would take the miralax in the morning and try 1/4 dose of the MOM before you go to bed. Or you could just take 400 mg of magensium supplement to start and see how that does.
I like flax seed oil a bit better than olive oil as it seems to not digest as much and gives a very nice coating to the stool, so even if it is formed, it shouldn't bite you on the way out.
I hope today is better. :heartballoon:

Bite me....now I'm even more afraid of having a BM

Kind of like this???

Corsi,
Are you doing better and is the Movicol working now for you OK???
Cheryl

Corsi,
I really hope the movical works for you soon, expecially if you are upping the dose. It just works so well for me, I think I finally have my dose figured out!
Hope you have a good day.

That was a cutie Lecia My visits to the toilet has not been the same since I saw this one
Thanks Jo & Cheryl
I'm still on Miralax, 4 teaspoons. Before Miralax I went once in the morning, or maybe twice. Now on Miralax I have to go later during the day (a few hours after the first one), or if I don't have to go it feels like I have to... Has anyone experienced that?
Things are not liquid like, still formed but a bit softer....
I checked my Fe level yesterday, and it is now over 180. When I started with the iron infusions they were on 8.
The normal level is between 15 - 200.

Hi corsi,good to know the fe is back to normal.
movicol does that to me as well.i have to go 2-3 times a day.doesnt the movicol come in a sachet?i take 1 sachet,not sure how many spoons in it.

Corsi,
that is one of the main things I don't like about Movicol. I often feel like I have to go and then it is only gas or I really don't have to go. I think Movicol must do that. I didn't take my aft dose yesterday and was OK this morning, so I am encouraged by that. I think the benefibre is helping me. I think 1 sachet is equivalent to one capful of Miralax. I measure mine out precisely with teaspoons. One capful is about 5 teaspoons. Good luck. It says right on the bottle that Miralax causes a person to have more frequent stools.

I sometimes get the urge to go again but I am not sure if I really have to. Sometimes I try and not much comes out so I try to ignore it a bit. Of course if it is persistent I will try.
That is wonderful news your iron is back up. How do you feel? That made a tremendous difference!

Corsica,
I take magnesium glycinate -400mg. It is hard to find in the store so I ordered it on line. Between that and the benefiber/metamucil everything is comming out nice and soft.

Ahhhhh - how I envy you Corsi for your Iron levels If you hear somebody coming
through your window at full moon - don't panic - it is Fissy in need of some blood
It is great that your poop is soft now - that is the most important I am off all supplements now and finally go 2 times a day like in old good pre fissure days . Any stool softener will make you go more often - it is normal !
Hope you are feeling great today
