For Constipation "So I had nausea for about three months straight. After countless visits and endless tests, I finally got into a GI specialist who immediately told me I was severely constipated. I was put on MiraLAX for one day with 15 capfuls in a 64 oz Gatorade. Do not chug the drink! I was told to drink within 8 hours, but if it goes over a little, that's fine. I was also told to stay moving! It helps the bowels, and if you lay down, it could make you throw up. It began to work in about 6 hours. I’m on one capful daily, and I am going to be taking it for a month, and honestly, it has done wonders for me. It does make my stomach hurt and causes slight nausea, but I’ll take it to fix it!"

For Constipation "Severe faintness, nausea, and post-nasal drip down the back of my throat. Need to swallow a lot. I am waiting for my doctor to contact me - he’s a good guy. I am not taking this. I don’t like spending time on the couch recovering for an hour or so."

For Constipation "I have chronic constipation, so the doctor told me to take it daily with the drink of choice. Before you read: don't get me wrong. It does a wonderful job. Effortless, painless, easy, quick bowel movements and relief within 24 hours. It's very effective. But taking it is a pain! Every time I take it, it tastes so bad (the flavorless one) no matter what drink I put it in that I have to drink it holding my breath with a straw over the sink in case I vomit and rinse my mouth out with soap afterwards. It's actually conditioned me to stop drinking some beverages because the taste reminds me of when I mixed it with MiraLAX. I gag so badly after taking it. The nausea and burping from it usually last for 2 hours after I take it, and I have trouble keeping it down and not vomiting from the taste. I just can't understand how so many people like taking this stuff. Disgusting! I hate it so much. I detest it from the bottom of my soul."
