After taking MiraLax for more than a year, I am having some trouble with food coming back up on occasion. Also, a little pain occurring in the breastbone area! Thank you.
Would MiraLax promote swallowing problems and/or regurgitating?

Hey phillip,
Sounds like you have some reflux issues. Whether this is related to the Miralax or not, hard to say. I would discuss with the doctor when you have the opportunity. In the meantime, do not lie down after eating for at least a couple hours and if this is occuring at night, prop your head up on some pillows so to get gravity to help counter the problem. There are medicines which are prescribed for this problem, so having the doctor address is suggested.

Over the counter medication like Prilosec and Nexium... are proton pump inhibitors known to now cause dabetes. America, stop with all the medication.
These medications interfere with absorption of vital nutrients when on for too long. Watch YouTube Apple Cider Vinegar increase gut ph and helps with alkalinity. Search GERD ( gastroesophageal reflux disorder)

Taking another medication to treat a symptom caused by the first medication is what Bg Pharma wants... this is not wise... numerous reports of this problem with Miralax listed in the over 7,000 adverse reports to the FDA regarding Miralax.
