I've been using restoralax/miralax twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening because I have issues with constipation. Constipation can lead to ischemic colitis attacks which I've had before. I'm on my period so that may be why I'm experiencing more cramping, rectal pressure and having more bowel movements. I am having softer bowel movements. Has anyone else used restoralax/miralax more than once a day? I know on the bottle it says once a day. I can't stomach prune juice because the texture makes me gag and I know that milk of magnesium would do the same. Dulcolax gives me severe diarrhea even if I just take one pill. Metamucil causes severe bloating, gas and cramping so I can't take it either.
