Toni,

Toni,
My gastroenterologist just prescribed MiraLax
for a difficult bowel problem I have. He told me take it everyday.
This is somewhat puzzling, inasmuch as my family doctor told me that
taking laxatives on a continuous basis is dangerous. Ones
normal system will completely shut down. I have not as yet
discussed with him what the GI doctor told me.
Anyway, the MiraLax does seem to help.
