It’s been a minute since I’ve been here, but I had a fissure that finally went away last September and all has been well as I’ve been on MiraLAX since that time twice a day. I follow a healthy diet do exercise 5 to 6 days a week… Decided to give it a go without the MiraLAX and now I’m suffering the consequences.. I can not poop like a normal person without I’m not constipated as I go every day, but it’s like (sorry) the poop won’t come out on it’s own unless it’s super soft. It’ll just hang in the balance and it’s almost like it’s too big (which it really isn’t) to pass without straining and having to cross my legs over and contort my body to get it out. Then I don’t feel it’s complete. With a miralaxx I suppose it’s just so soft… Not diarrhea, but soft serve I guess… sorry again, that it requires no effort to come out and it takes less than 2 minutes to complete. I’m OK with being on the relax for the rest of my life or even trying some thing else like linzess,
Now I’m suffering from hemorrhoids and a lump where my fissure once was, but thankfully nothing has opened up. I’m back the the miralaxx and it was smooth sales today, but the damage from the last week will take days if not weeks to clear up. I did a sitz bath and that was nice, but the reminder of this situation which could be so easy to reoccur has be down in the dumps. No pun intended. Does anybody else have this problem? I can’t imagine why my poop is so difficult to come out… I don’t even eat gluten. I don’t know what else I can do….. anyone else have similar issues? Anyone tried linzess? Thanks. Sorry so long.
