Q: How many grams. I need 238 grams for colonoscopy prep?
submitted by Katieb79 - 3 years ago
A: 8.3oz is equal to 238 grams. Says so on label.
submitted byDHR - 3 years agoA: This bottle. Just an FYI, I needed to split this into two batches. I used my kitchen scale to weigh it. I don’t know why the Miralax “brand expert” is saying it’s not intended for colonoscopy prep; this is the product my gastroenterologist recommended.
submitted byElle - 7 months agoA: There are 17g of Polyethylene Glycole 3350 (osmotic laxative) in each dose. As a reminder, MiraLAX is not indicated for use in preparation for colonoscopy. We recommend following your doctor’s directions when preparing for a colonoscopy.
submitted byMiraLAX Team - 3 years agoBrand expertA: This IS what the GI doctor ordered for the colonoscopy prep.

Q: Can a toddler use it for constipation?
submitted by Unique Gifts - 8 years ago
A: I would not recommend it (we did, and unfortunately, there were some side effects we weren't aware of). I would do a Google search, and you can see all the studies being done on the issues that parents have seen with giving it to a toddler/child. We ended up getting Culturelle Kids Regularity and it has helped a lot.

Very good. It works naturally with your body's water to hydrate, soften, and ease the passage of stool, without stimulating the nerves in the colon like stimulant laxatives. I recommend it.

For occasional constipation MiraLAX is the best! It’s easy to use, dissolves, completely, has no taste at all, does not upset your stomach, and it is a good value for your money. The bottles are super easy to open and the cap is actually used to measure the amount of powder you put in your water. If you drink it in the evening, you be ready to go 💩 in the morning!

Game changer

This product is a complete game changer. I have suffered for the last six to eight months with constipation. I started taking miralax and I have a perfect stool every morning now. It is truly a lifesaver for this 73-year-old man. I should add the dissolves and you don't even know it's in your beverage. So many other products on the market clump and turn into cement or taste badly or gritty. You will have none of that with Miralax.
Easy to take & works

No scent or flavour so good to add to any tea or beverage. There is no texture when added to hot beverages. And just gets the job done. Packaging is easy to handle and cost seems fair.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Gentle, Effective Relief I’ve been using MiraLAX occasionally for the past few months, and it’s become my go-to solution for occasional constipation. What I appreciate most is how gentle and effective it is — there’s no cramping or sudden urgency like with some other laxatives. It works gradually, usually within 1-3 days, and feels very natural.
Worked well!

Honestly this worked well for me. I had previously used a stimulant lax and it unfortunately caused great discomfort, cramping, and didn't work. However, I used this and it started working rather quickly and I don't have any side effects personally.

My son struggles with constipation so we were advised to take MiraLAX daily. I’ve tried the off-brands but it never compares! Nothing gives my son the results needed like MiraLAX does
