Hi,

Your symptoms seem to be related to the effects of Citrucel and Miralax. There is not any known interaction between the two medications. I suggest you to eat plain food such as rice, bananas, toast and apple juice. I also suggest taking daily probiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
