I use Milk of Magnesia, and I know many here swear by Miralax. I've read of both that you can take them in minor doses throughout the day, or daily in larger doses.
Before bed, I take a super dose of Milk of Magnesia, and though it has been all that has made my poops permissible to my fissure in completely liquefying them, sleeping can get tricky as all that's going through me for a morning BM. I'm afraid to spread it out, however, as the full dose is all that has worked well enough for me without a retear.
Does anyone have any experience with osmotic laxatives like either of the two mentioned, mainly in the effects of a full dose vs 2 lesser doses throughout the day? I'm concerned with stool softness over regularity. I'm already a little too regular at the moment.
