Can you relate?!
So, Let’s Talk About It: Miralax and other laxatives.
No one loves the awkward moment of buying Miralax or hemorrhoid cream at the store.
It’s uncomfortable, frustrating, and can feel like a never-ending cycle.
But the good news? You don’t have to rely on them forever!
If you’re struggling with constipation or gut issues, it’s time to address the root cause instead of just treating symptoms.
Here are 7 steps to wean off Miralax & prevent needing it again:
Hydrate Like It’s Your Job – Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Dehydration = harder stools.
Increase Soluble & Insoluble Fiber – Aim at least 30g of fiber per day from natural sources – fruits and vegetables.
Train Your Gut – Go to the bathroom at the same time daily (even if you don’t feel the urge) to re-train your colon.
Feed Your Gut Bacteria – Probiotic-rich foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir help balance gut flora & improve motility.
Reduce Processed Foods & Sugar – These disrupt the gut microbiome and can slow digestion.
Move Your Body – Walking, stretching, and even light yoga can stimulate digestion and improve motility.
Try a Warm Lemon Water Routine – Drinking warm lemon water first thing in the morning can help stimulate the bowels naturally.
The goal?
A well-functioning gut that doesn’t need laxatives or creams!
If you’ve been stuck relying on Miralax, try these steps to support your digestion naturally.
