The Miralax is meant to be taken daily and not for occasional constipation. You can mix it with any liquid, but I understand mixing it with orange juice gives it a little "kick".
The "brown stuff" your pharmacist is talking about is probably "Mama Cass", which is a mixture of cascara and milk of magnesia. I don't remember the exact dosing, but we always sent it home with the patient in a full urine cup (unused, or course) with instructions to not drink it until they are in their house and will remain there the entire day. It creates a significant amount of discomfort, but it is very effective.

Just thought I'd join to see if anyone has any advice.
For the past month I've been having, on and off, bouts of what feels like my insides (bowels mostly) being beaten with a baseball bat. Been to ER's but nothing resolved.
Failed to mention to the ER docs that I have not had a real BM in all that time either. Once in a while I would have a liquid "ass pee" but nothing great. I saw my gastroenterologist on Thursday and he put me on Miralax and told me to give it a few days to work. It's Saturday night here in NJ and still NOTHING!
I've also been using prune juice which ALWAYS worked for me but now NOTHING! 3 hours ago I drank the entire 10 oz bottle of magnesium citrate and so far NOTHING! I'm going to wait for the recommended 6-7 hour period and if still NOTHING I'm going to my local ER and insist that they clean me out.
I know they can do this. The pharmacist who sold me the mag citrate told me that she was in EXACTLY my shoes and our local ER gave her some "brown stuff" to drink that put her on one of the hospital's crappers for several hours, on and off, but the stuff WORKED!
I know that even if they do this it's not the same as a diagnosis but at least it will bring RELIEF!
I'm 71 but until recently I have not had problems in this area.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
Tom
