I have taken Miralax,and I had little sucess with it. It dosen't taste
bad,it really has no taste at all. But I have found I get the best
result's with Milk of Magnesia. It work's quickly,and my GI doc say's
it is better then most perscription laxative's. I hated the taste of
it,and had a hard time getting it down,and then I discovered it come's
in tablet's also. So if the Miralax dosen't help,try MOM and see how
that work's for you, Laura
