I've been doing Miralax for the last week, 1/2 a dose in the afternoon and another 1/2 in the evening. Things are soft, but frankly not all in one piece. So when I have the urge to go, which includes what we are assuming is IBS cramping, I feel the need and sometimes automatic reaction to strain b/c the stool is soft and in pieces.
I don't recall this when I took Colace (not sure of the Canada form). But if you try Miralax definitely start with 1/2 a dose. I took my 1st 1/2 dose at about 5pm and I wasn't running to the loo from it. Which was a relief, the less loo time would be a winner for me.
Good on you for enjoying some delicious food and life! Its inspiring, you may be struggling but I find it awesome you are still enjoying important moments.
