User Reviews for Polyethylene glycol 3350

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I have taken Miralax since I was 3 years old due to a medical condition. The product does what it should, but after about 3 years it acquired a flavor that I can't stand. I mix it with other drinks and over time it ruins those drinks for me also. If you can get past the flavor it is a miracle product.

polyethylene glycol 3350 for Bowel Preparation: Worked perfectly after drinking 4 Liters (10oz every 15 minutes) 2 liters the night before and 2 liters the day of, finishing 3 hours before the procedure. No side effects at all. I suggest "chasing" with white cranberry juice. This prevented any after taste and possible nausea. Taste is the only reason I gave it a nine but it really wasn%u2019t bad when chilled. Note that if you let the liquid get really cold you won%u2019t be able to drink it fast.

polyethylene glycol 3350 for Constipation: I have been having serious issue with my bowels the past few months due to new medications ( narcotic). I have increased fiber, water intake, exercise, laxative use and NOTHING was working! I hadn't had a Bowel Motion in 3 weeks. Finally I got so fed up with feeling so lousy I went to my primary. She had prescribed me Miralax. So when I got home I mixed myself a cup of apple juice and pour some Miralax in it. 4 hours later I was already starting the process for bowel elimination. At first it was still very minimal and still felt completely full. By morning time it was a completely different story! This is absolutely AMAZING. I've never had a product work so fast and effectively even without cramps! I'm still mind boggled.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation, Acute: I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome with constipation. Before taking Miralax, I would go days without a bowel movement. Nothing but misery. After talking with my doctor about Miralax she suggested that I take it everyday for one year. Upon doing so, I had a bowel movement and sometimes several everyday. I got to the point that I sometimes was losing control so started cutting back on how many days I took Miralax. I now take it 2-3 times a week, usually have a bowel movement daily and have control of the situation.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I've been taking MiraLax, as my mom tells me, ever since I switched to formula. I'm not a good eater so I'm always constipated. However, MiraLax works pretty much all the time. It would get a 10 except that it failed today. I took my usual dosage and I was still constipated. I guess it's because I've been taking it my entire life.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I couldn't go and now I can. This says it all.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: Miralax is great. First day was the only time I experienced any side effects, and that was only a headache. After that, I've been taking it every day at night in a glass of water. It doesn't taste like anything and dissolves quickly. Works great, too. I've always had constipation, but recently I was having constant pain and bleeding with every bowel movement due to a fissure, it was horrible. But now that my doctor recommended Miralax to me, I finally feel normal in that department!

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I had been backed up for at least half a year when things went from bad to worse. The last two months, I was lucky to go once a week. My stool was so hard and big that it hurt to much to go. My doctor prescribed Miralax to me and it started to work a little. Then, she recommended I take two cap fulls in two cups of water instead of one in one. After a day or two, I went to go and it literally went from 100% bad to 100% great. I was not only able to go but it didn't hurt at all. It was so amazing to finally not be in pain that I literally cried. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone with that kind of constipation.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I have used everything on the market, even changing my diet, more water, and fiber and I was still struggling. I saw Miralax at first I thought, na, just more bad tasting powder. I decided to buy it what could I lose. I am amazed. I feel so much better, an no nasty taste. I put it in my coffee, orange juice, even soda. So easy to use. Thank you for making it over the counter now.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation, Acute: Works great. No running for the toilet or staying home and waiting. Go about your business.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I am on my fourth day and still no bowel motion. Each time I took at night an hour before bedtime with water and it's amazing because there really isn't a taste at all. You would never know anything was added to the water. Just make sure you stir it so the water is pretty clear to keep it tasteless. I do have to say over the last 4 days I haven't had any bloating or gas.

ClearLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I haven't use the bathroom like I supposed to in the last month. I have taken Fleet and other laxatives but it just did not work. I felt so bloated and I never stopped eating. Finally I couldn't take it no more so I went the doctor and she prescribed me something to take. The medicine that she prescribed for me wasn't covered by my insurance so I went to Walmart and saw that ClearLax had almost the same ingredients. I bought me some apple juice and mixed it together. About an hour later I really used the bathroom and I feel great. If it works for me, it is some good stuff and I am serious.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I had been constipated for as long as I could remember. I would have a bowel motion maybe once every 2-3weeks. So not normal. My diet consisted of high fiber 100 oz of water a day fruits veggies but still no bowel motion. I have tried cleansers, laxatives and other products but nothing. I recently began doing colonic irrigations because I was so frustrated. My doc suggested I try Miralax. The 1st day I took some in the morning and the 2nd day I took some more. By that evening of the 2nd day I had a bowel motion. I couldn't believe it. After all this time it was Miralax that did the job. Thanks Miralax. I would recommend this to anyone.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: Just had a hysterectomy last Wednesday, I have been having "very little" if at all bowel motions. I woke up this morning in excruciating abdominal pain. I took 2 doses in orange juice and I produced my first bowel motion in 1 hour! Wow! More fiber, water, ambulation and Miralax should keep me regular.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: Works well for constipation due to Venlafaxine ER. I take Miralax every night at bedtime in hot tea, after typical day of drinking 2L water, eating an extremely high-fiber diet (veg except for fish, exclusively whole grains, cook with extra-virgin olive oil), and some walking, along with lots of tea both green and black. The Miralax helps, but still only 1 movement per day, versus 3 prior to medication. When I double the Miralax, THEN things start to approach pre-medication regularity.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation, Acute: I recently had a laparoscopic hysterectomy. As some of you may know, anesthesia from surgery can cause the bowels to basically just stop moving. Add to this the trauma of surgery in a nearby region, combined with taking narcotics, and I was MISERABLE. It took 3 days for it to work, but when it did it was a major miracle. I did not realize constipation could be so bad you'd consider that you might DIE. Miralax not only works, but it does not give you the horrible sick cramps you get with stimulant laxatives. Just the best ever.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I am 14 years old and was taking an anti-inflammatory medicine as well as a prescription pain killer for my kidney stone that I have. Those medicines made me constipated, and while I was at Childrens ER, my nurse practitioner prescribed me MiraLax. I was skeptical, and afraid that it would counteract with my other medications. She assured me that it would be okay. Did you know, you don't have to take it just once a day? I took 2 doses at once with 16 ounces of water, and a couple of hours later, I finally had a bowel movement. Overall this medication is really phenomenal. The only bad thing about it, is that it causes gas and nausea. Other than that, I'd say this is the best constipation reliever for all ages out there!

polyethylene glycol 3350 for Constipation: I was so constipated I did not have a bowel movement for 6 days. Tried Senna, Exlax. I just could not go so i mixed a small bottle of Miralax in 2 x 16oz bottles of prune juice i drank the 2 bottles and wow total explosion within 20 min. I did not expect that to work that fast.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I had been struggling with constipation since I was 19 from taking Tylenol 3's for pain and had tried every laxative imaginable. I even tried colon hydrotherapy and that did nothing for me. I am now 24 and have been taking Miralax for the past month and I have never felt better. It feels great to be regular again. Prior to Miralax I was going once a week.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: Miralax is Fantastic! I take a half dose everyday with a glass of prune juice for good measure along with a high fiber diet. No side effects at all.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: After many (84) years of trying to combat constipation, I have finally discovered Miralax, and it has made my life so improved that I almost can't believe it.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Bowel Preparation: With my family history of colon cancer and my bout with colon cancer, I've been getting a colonoscopy every 3 years. This past April I was told to use Miralax. It was the first time my prep was not sufficient to proceed with the procedure even though I followed the instructions exactly.

ClearLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I have been using Clearlax for 3 months, as I take many medications everyday that constipate me. I have not had any problems and continue to take everyday with no problems.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: My constipation worries all started when I was taking cholesterol medicines a few months ago and could no longer tolerate side effects on top of the constipation had to stop taking them, when I saw my doctor she told me to get some calcium citrate supplement with magnesium to release the constipation. Well it only made things worse by giving me bloating/gas. I believe that Miralax could possibly save me from all this misery, but it just started taking its effect on the third day, with some relief with this product but not quite 100% as yet. I have an appointment on the seventh day of this product to see if it will actually work out for my problem. Also taking simethicone chews 80mg with Miralax for releasing the fullness, gas, bloat after meals.

MiraLax (polyethylene glycol 3350) for Constipation: I am 20 years old and have had problems with bowel movements since I've been potty trained. I've usually had one extreme to the other but going to the bathroom was never easy for me. I finally went to see my doctor to see if there was anything we could do about this. Throughout my childhood I've been on different medications, but nothing helped. Now finding out I'm lactose intolerant doesn't help either). She prescribed me Miralax and I have to say when I use it correctly (that is taking it everyday and drinking enough liquids with it) it works wonders. I no longer get stomach cramps or gas.
