Q: How many grams. I need 238 grams for colonoscopy prep?
submitted by Katieb79 - 3 years ago
A: 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: 8.3oz is equal to 238 grams. Says so on label.
submitted byDHR - 3 years agoA: This IS what the GI doctor ordered for the colonoscopy prep.
submitted bydont know - 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.

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.

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

Got some issues as a medication side effect despite already eating very healthy and drinking enough. I take one a day mixed into soda because I don't like the taste much on its own. It definitely works if done regularly, though for severe issues something...

this is a powder laxative solution that helps relieve constipation, softens stool, and it works right away for me! I love that I can mix this in a warm cup of tea or coffee first thing in the morning and it does not have a nasty taste to it or you can buy it in the orange flavor and add it to your bottle of water.
Best!

I absolutely love miralax because it’s makes the whole process gentle on the body. It’s doctor recommended and tastes like nothing! I’m always recommending it to people who are experiencing constipation, I don’t trust anything else.

This is something that is embarrassing to have on hand at home, but you’re grateful to have it when you need it. It dissolves quickly in juice and doesn’t have a taste or odor. The packaging makes it easy to measure out the correct dose. The value is great for how many doses you get. It usually works within 8 hours.
