Great Product - WORKS!

Pros: gentle, works, no taste
"I read all the great reviews for this product and made my decision to buy it based on that. This product works - no harsh chemicals - to make you cramp or bloat. Very gentle but effective! I've been on this for a couple of weeks - and it has made a tremendous change for me! I highly recommend for anyone who has the 'problem' and needs help! I've been adding to cranberry juice with some aloe vera juice added - can't tell MiraLax is in there - and that is great - totally dissolves and doesn't get thick like some other brands!! Highly recommend - I'm sold on this stuff!"

Best Purchase

"I have purchased many different brands but feel that this is the best one, I finally think I'm functioning at a normal level with half of the recommended dosage. Easy to use and tasteless. I use in my morning coffee and I'm set for the day."

Good Results

"In the past I've had infrequent but annoying bouts of constipation. My physician suggested using Miralax on a daily basis. Now everything is fine and I have not suffered constipation since I started use of Miralax (over a year ago)."

Safe and effective

"Miralax was prescribed to me by two different gastroenterologists years ago when it was a prescription drug. It took me a week or two to get used to it, but when I did it solved my problem. I have rather severe IBS with both constipation and occasional diarrhea. The second doctor told me to take it forever; that there is no downside to long term use. It has no taste; the only problem I have is getting out the proper measurement in either Miralax or the Costco product. By the way, the Costco product is the same single ingredient but is almost twice the amount as Miralax for a few dollars less."

This really is a miracle laxative!

Pros: works quickly, easy to measure, no change of texture, flavorless, no intestinal cramping, no bloating
Cons: bottle size is inconvenient for traveling
"Mira (miracle) Lax (laxative). Well they certainly named it right. After 5 years of dealing with severe constipation and using up to 9 Ducolax a day I only achieved moderate results. Then my doctor told me about Miralax. I was very skeptical that it wouldn't change the flavor or texture but boy was I wrong. I put it in my morning coffee and there is no change in taste/texture that I can discern.
I can't believe I suffered for years before I was told about this amazing product. With Costco's great return policy why wouldn't you give it a try? You can always return it if it doesn't work for you.

Can live again!

"I tried everything to cure my chronic constipation i.e. diet, increase in fiber, exercise, bulk laxatives and nothing worked until i found miralax. It makes me not dread going to the bathroom every day. I can focus on other things for a change."

MIRALAX - Your answer to constipation!

Pros: absolute best, best buy at costco
"I was referred to UCSF due to severe constipation and dependency on processed elimination. After many tests, I was told to take Miralax on cap full AM and PM. No cramping, no dependency, no bloating and no diarrhea effects! I called the 800 number of Miralax to talk with someone about dependency as 3 months prior to it going over the counter, I had to get Miralax via a prescription. After OTC the words were added not to take more than 7 days, due to the United States F.D.A. It rang numerous times before a man answered and I began my series of questions. He eventually asked me how did I reach him of which I told him I only dialed the 800 number. Turns out he was the V.P. and partner inventor. He assured me there was nothing in it to cause dependency and I have been on it for 2.5 years and doing well. Couldn't recommend a better product!!
TRY IT!

the best relief ever

Pros: it is easy to take., this stuff really works.
"Five years ago I had a stroke. I went from having regular bowel habits to having no bowel habits, i.e. I had no sensation or feeling of pressure. I suffered mightily for more than a year. Then a friend was talking about her discovery of Miralax, which was a prescription medication at the time. It solved my very uncomfortable and severe constipation. I recommend it highly to anyone who mentions problems with constipation. Recently, I was in an ER with a sick child and heard, from the next curtained enclosure, someone complaining about severe constipation. The doctor responded with the usual line about fiber and water and exercise. I wanted to tear open the curtains and share the good news: that he didn't have to suffer anymore! I restrained myself but was quite conflicted about it afterwards!"

Very Gentle

Pros: gentle, no taste, dissolves easily, works every time
Cons: expensive
"My daughter has been using Miralax every day since she was 6 months old. It doesn't cause her any pain/bloating/etc. even at a young age. It dissolves easily in any liquid and is as gentle as water. It works wonderfully."
