Share your laxatives!

Postby Mommaof1 » 29 Jun 2014, 07:32

Been on and off clearlax (miralax in the US) for several months. I can't seem to get off of it without causing constipation and a re-tear. EXTREMELY frustrating. What else do you use? Perhaps something more natural? I have heard about coconut water, flax seeds and LOTS of water. I am TTC and don't want to be taking clearlax while pregnant. Any tips that work for you at keeping your bms soft would be great!!

I haven't been using laxatives. I found that eating 30g of fiber is my magic number. I track what I eat and supplement with Benefiber if I have to make sure I get in 30g. Any more or less causes me problems. That, drinking at least 100 oz of water each day, and using a footstool in the bathroom has helped tremendously.

Here are a few links on the forum that refer to Miralax and pregnancy, momof1. Hope this might help a little:

search.php?keywords=Miralax+pregnant&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=msgonly&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

Also, agree with what both Apes and mmklinemm about correct amount of fibre and enough water each day. I use Metamucil cinnamon cookies (biscuits if you are Brit like me) and veg.

Hi Savaici,

Totally unrelated, but I saw on a few older posts that you knew of a doctor in NYC that did SAD. I was wondering if you would share the doctor's name.
