I'm taking miralax every day, drinking lots of water, and increased my fiber intake and nothing has helped. I see my pdoc next week and I'd really like to fix this before then and not need to make an earlier appointment just for this.
Anyone have any advice?

I went through this not having to go for weeks when I was on lithium, the drug. I later mentioned it to my primary care doctor and he said some meds go in and tell your gut to shut down. I still have problems from that to this day, and that was over 20 years ago.
