I measure mine out by teaspoons and other smaller sized measuring spoons. I take 5 1/2 teaspoons at bedtime (about a capful) and 3 teaspoons mid-afternoon (a little over one-half capful or sachet, as the case may be).

Thank you Cheryl! Right now, taking just one MOM pill each night is working great so I hate to mess with it. I've thought about trying the Miralax and for the price of this generic equivalent, it may be worth it for me.

Speaking of Generic Miralax, I was just at Walgreen's today picking up my fun colonoscopy prep kit, and saw that they just started offering polyethylene glycol in a store brand product called Smoothlax as well. Maybe Miralax's patent just expired or something? I know for sure that product wasn't around 2 months ago when I first started buying Miralax. Smoothlax was about $26 for a 50-dose bottle.

Hey everyone, glad I could help with the generic Miralax tip..
San Antonio was fun, really hot and humid the first day, but then an absolutely perfect 78 degrees and sunny the rest of the week.
NG, I'm now off to Purdue for tomorrow's game..look for me , I'll be the one with a brown paper bag on my head and an orange sweatshirt. LOL
Gonna check out an Irish Pub called Nine Irish Brothers (google it) and have me a Jameson on the rocks after the game..I'm sure I'll need it.

Sidra,
Wasn't the warm weather nice, and don't you wish we could have brought it back with us to Central Illinois?? Glad to read you had a nice vacation!

LOL paper bag with a sweatshirt, hrm that definitely has a good chance of getting you some airtime! Purdue vs. Illinois should be a good game, I've got Illinois for this one, Purdue hasn't been too hot this year. I'd wager that's going to be a celebratory drink after the game :)

EPIC FAIL by Illinois as predicted. Purdue is a beautiful campus, by the way.

Hi Sidra,
I almost went to Purdue. Was completely enrolled and everything, and then switched my mind at the last minute to attend elsewhere. Here's hoping Illini BB will be more successful than football is/was. Do you think the football coach will get fired??? I'm ready to go somewhere else now that I've returned home safely! :D
