I swear by Miralax, it has helped me a lot, even though my fissure still isn't healed, that's probably because I wasn't steady with my Miralax doses and cheated here and there by eating silly food. Miralax has really helped me have smooth and painless BMs in the midst of a very abnormal bum. I don't know how a normal bum is supposed to look or feel really, but I know mine is abnormal. I have 2 skin tags and at least 2 fissures, maybe even hemmies, I don't know and my doctors haven't been that great at guiding me, but still, Miralax has really helped with everything.
I rarely take the full dose - only if I ate lots of pizza or something. Even then though, I usually take 3/4 and it helps a lot. With Metemucil, the stool can get very bulky and even painful to pass.
