    I love Miralax. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and hadn't gone in 5 days. Trying made me cry, sweat, and bleed. I thought nothing could help and resigned myself to an ER visit.

    I will not use this product again. I took one dose & the following day I had severe cramping, felt faint and had to lie down. I felt nauseous and my back ached, too. I ended up in the ER that evening, CT scan & blood tests found nothing wrong. Then I read some of these reviews where people experienced the same thing.I will look for an alternative for constipation.

    I like the product my complaint is that the container, especially the 45 dose one, is extremely difficult to hold and to pour into the cap for the measured dosage.
