Enema's provide almost instant relief. They work fabulously.

And as to how often a whole cap full once daily or as needed I'm told to take it daily since I have stomach issues already but I would ask your doc to make sure first:))

I drink lots of water and take miralax I use colace with it sometimes to but I'm not sure if you can take those during your whole pregnancy so i don't want to give wrong information. My doctor said colace is more of a stimulant or something rather and its more powerful then miralax so she said to just try to only use that first instead. I also try walking or swimming and my doc said I could take fiber gummies or chews hope you feel better I hate being constipated!!

Yes. You can take miralax. My dr gave it to me. There should be a line in the cap that shows you how much. I take it once a day. It can take up to 3 days to work though.
