I was told no Miralax or stool softeners because they dehydrate. Doctor said to use milk of magnesia and get as much fluids as possible. First time I only used half dose, nothing happened. The next day I did a full dose and it worked in less than one hour, and helped throughout the day. Did not cause cramps or anything.
