vxnova,
what is your diet like? Sometimes too much fiber can actually cause more problems than it solves. Since doctors are constantly lecturing on increased fiber, people assume they should be adding more and more fiber. But they end up having more problems when they do so. Too much fiber can actually make stools that are too bulky and sometimes even hard if there is not enough water or if a person tends toward constipation.
Checking with a doctor before increasing to 3 doses of Miralax would be a good idea to make sure it's ok for your individual health history.
You could also talk to your doctor about adding something else in addition to the Miralax, like Milk of Magnesia, as having two different agents working in combination to bring more water into the stool could be a good approach.
Good luck!
