hi ! i’m having a rough go 😅 to get it out of the way, i have extreme emetophobia so, any solutions that will cause extreme nausea or diarrhea (like ducolax/stimulants) are not my best bet. miralax is always my first choice bc im very comfortable with it. i’m already a person who tends to easily get constipated and i recently started a monthly CGRP (migraine) injection with a side effect of severe constipation. i’m looking for two things:

1. how can i prepare my body before the injection so i don’t get constipated? i take it on the first of each month. i took it on a friday and by that monday i was constipated. miralax out of precaution? increase fiber? any other ideas?

2.) how can i fix my current constipation state? i’ve been on miralax for about 6 days and have had some BMs but none extremely relieving (mostly pencil thin type but it is soft)! i’ve also been drinking the carnation breakfast essentials for the past two days and those seem to mess up my stomach enough to let me go 😅

this isn’t my first rodeo with medication induced constipation. last time i took zofran, i did not have a complete BM for almost 30 days. but im still scared! this medication is helping my migraines so much but i genuinely cannot be constipated for my whole life.

hi! i started aimovig 10 days ago and have been constipated since. i am already a constipated person so this was not a surprise to me. i the other medications, i’ve gotten to the dangerous point of constipation (30+ days) , so i want to try to stop this while i’m only on day 10. i’ve been taking Miralax and drinking apple juice for the past 6 days but, is there something else i can do? i do not really want to add magnesium because it gives me quite crazy night terrors. i also don’t really want to add a stimulant laxative that’s going to keep me on the toilet because this just isn’t suitable for my situation. would fiber supplements or high fiber foods be beneficial, or would these not help at this point. i feel that this medication may help me, but i cannot be constipated like this forever!! thankful for all knowledge and experiences!

I’ve ordered tons of swatches and they have my favorite color! I have never heard of anyone ordering from them, so I wanted to hear experiences before I decided on them.
