Colon cleansing miralax
Common Questions and Answers about Colon cleansing miralax
colon
I think it depends on the type of enema. Using enemas frequently for constipation can cause your rectum to "forget" how to have a bowel movement naturally. Using enemas for "colon cleansing", I believe is not good, because your colon doesn't need any cleansing, it does this itself.
My adult daughter has spina bifida and apperars to have a blocked lower colon. She excavates herself and can feel stool that she can not reach. She is having leaking around it. We are on vacation and wonder what we can do to help her. It is ruining her vacation.
Thanks for your help

The DR finally called and scheduled an appointment in 8 days and said to use Miralax only. So now I have another 8 days to go to see what's next.
he told me that I could use miralax and gatorade and it would be fine..I mean really I got the bathroom anywhere from 2 to 7 times a day, the prep is all I need to push me over the top...so I am hoping that I will be able to tolerate the prep and the colonoscopy will go fine.
A couple of other things, I do take things over the counter to attempt to slow down this condition..
I have been doing the Fiber thing (which too much makes the gas get trapped in the colon even worse and the pain is god aweful)..
Well the gallon of apple juice seems to be a bit much! If you are taking the Miralax and Benefiber, things should get back to normal real soon. It does take a few days for your colon to get back to normal after all that stimulation to get it cleaned out, but it will get better. Just stay the course and if you begin to have a issues contact your doctor to ask if you need the Benefiber. You do need the Miralax and it's not habit forming.
I just was diagnosed with a tortuous colon after months of agony from constipation and a lifetime of general gastrointestinal issues. I'm only 31 and would prefer not to have surgery...I heard it is very risky and last resort only. I've been told to take Colace and Miralax. I'm still having issues, although not nearly as bad as before I started the Colace. Some days or half days I'm fine and then back to the pain again.
What are some other remedies people have tried?
ve been worrying about colon cancer, so is this because of the miralax or something worse like cancer? It started becoming really pencil thin and short, and has been for the last 3-4 days (while taking the 2 capfuls of miralax). I know it's not an obstruction since I had an x Ray at the ER today and he said he didn't feel anything hard or mass like when feeling my stomach. I said my stools were thin, and he didn't really say anything about it.
This is going to be late for you, but you should never take liver cleansers while taking medication. What you're describing is a combination colon/liver cleanse. Milk thistle and yellowdock, for example, are liver cleansers, and could theoretically wash some of the medication out of our system, as the body sees virtually all medication as toxic.
t work with miralax and that what people use with megacolon cats, miralax needs water and plenty of for it it to work, miralax increases the water content in the stool getting it from other parts of the body and it is not increasing the stool size which is the problem with megacolon cats. Therefore in my opinion and experience dry food it's not going to work with megacolon.
Get your husband some Miralax to soften his stools so they are easier to pass. You may have to play around with the dosage a bit but that's okay. You can also go to your pharmacy and ask them what they would recommend. Miralax works very well and I feel it will give him some relief and he may want to keep using it to maintain easy bowel movements. I'm so sorry for the bad news you received, my thoughts and prayers are with both of you.
However, I talked to an herbal doctor and he suggest an all natural digestive assistant called ACOG Colon Cleanse. It is also called ACOG Herbal Master Body and Colon Cleanse. He recommends it to all of his IBS and constipation patiens. I'll tell you, this stuff really works and I found that it not only helped my digestion, but it also keeps me at a good weight.
If by chance you ever need to have your colon removed, you will not have to have a bag, you can have a J-Pouch which means they remove your colon, attach your small intestine to it and your small intestine acts as your colon. My son has this. You are wise to keep getting others opinions on this. MD Anderson in Texas is world renowned for their works with this, so if the Mayo can't help, try them. However, the Mayo Clinic is excellent and I'm happy to see you going there.
I take Miralax and have Gastroparesis. I can't have a BM without the Miralax!!!! It has truly been a God sent to me! I have a spastic colon and, well needless to say the Miralax is the best tasting, no side effect product out there!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!! My daughter who is 12 (almost 13) takes it occasionally (only a half cap full) when she's stopped up.
I've tried just about every other "helper" out there on the market and Miralax is by far the best!
A cleansing diet would be rearranging your entire diet, for a short time or forever, to emphasize cleansing toxins out of your colon, liver, and other organs. The reason you read about fasting a lot is that it's the best cleansing diet there is -- you take in no toxins while your body has the opportunity to clean itself out in the meantime. How long to fast is controversial, but when first starting out it's usually recommended to do one day, then move on later to two, etc.
What stool cleanser is available for sigmoid impaction have had impaction for 10 days? ER doc said to go home it will eventually come down.I should never have left ER without cleansing. I am on a high fiber diet since last year drink lots of water. Afraid to have solids don't want more impaction and another visit to ER they did a FLEETS at the time with no results.
