When Can Stools Be Passed After Taking Miralax Capsules For Detecting Stools In Intestines And Colon?
my husbands dr said his stools in his intestines and colon showed up in an xray, he has taken 9 capfuls of miralax over a 12-14 hour period and still no bm, he has been cramping and having lower back pain. is it too early for him to have a bm because of how much is in him?

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN
MIRALAX USUALLY CAUSES A BOWEL MOVEMENT IN 24- 48HRS AFTER TAKING THE DOSAGE.
YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY. IF STILL HIS CONSTIPATION IS NOT RELIVED THAN YOU CAN CONSULT YOUR GASTROENTEROLOGIST
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
