I think it is measured differently in the uk. It comes in sachets. I started on 2 sachets but have moved down to one as it made it like dioreah. I still only needed to go the once in the am as is normal for me.

im gonna hold out on the miralax and try this first.I also took Cod Liver oil pill after dinner (The bottle said the dosage is 3, I started with 1 and increased to 2 whenever I felt the need). This acts as an anti-inflammatory on the mucous membranes and also provides vitamin A and vitamin D which are crucial for tissue healing. I also took clarified butter - known as Ghee (Indian butter). It can be bought in any Asian/Indian grocery stores and will have the texture of a thick soup. I mixed 2 tsp of Ghee in a glass of warm milk and had right before bedtime. This lubricates the intestines and facilitates an easy bowel movement in the morning.
A magical tip: One or two tsp of ghee first thing in the morning followed immediately with hot water will promptly produce a bowel movement. I tried this if I did not get the natural urge to go in the morning and it worked every time !
