Re: Re: Amitiza -- was Chronic Constipation-- need help with starting diet please :-)

Amitiza should be legal on SCD. I took it for a few months, as a replacement for Zelnorm (which my body liked), but my body rejected Amitiza after a few months. My medication had just the active ingredient, plus a legal tablet coating.

What other illegal laxative are you referring to? It might cause worse problems than Amitiza.

I've been on Miralax for more than five years. I had just about tapered off of Miralax, thanks to SCD, but then Zelnorm was pulled from the market so I had to go back to using Miralax and taking extra magnesium. My doctors swear that Miralax is safe over the long term. I just take Miralax once a day, but I know others with severe constipation who take it two and three times a day.

Thanks for the help.I wasnt sure if Miralax was legal or not-- I was also taking Amitiza (illegal) and another illegal laxative. I am in teh process of experimenting. I think I will switch every other day-- Miralax and the illegal laxative to see if that will suffice. I did find a recipe for muffins and preads that are nut free on Pecan Bread so i used Beets in that (recommended for C), and I tried the Prune Juice this morning. Thanks the help!
