Incomplete bm again...tried hard to push it out. But no use, and not wanting to worsen my hemorrhoid and cause another af.

Have you tried increasing Miralax dosage? I had the same problem but it's now gone ever since I switched to 2 sachets (morning / evening) per day. It took a few days for my body to adjust but now I don't feel it at all, so don't worry about the tummy noises.

It should be safe to take it for a month or two at a go. I was taking one sachet before but my CRS asked me to double the dosage for pain relief. Alongside Olive oil and flax oil 2x a day should help you as well.

Hi Panda,

Thank you for also replying in this post also! My tummy doesn't make those noise now. I also have less incomplete bm so I think you are right about the body needs time to adjust.

Keeping your threads alive and kicking xD.

Another tried and tested home remedy for constipation has also been to drink a glass of piping hot full cream milk with 1-2 full tsp of ghee before bed. It helps relieve constipation and acts as softener.
