    I tried that once and got really, really sick. I don't recommend it. Doctors say your body cleanses itself, so it's not necessary.

    Why anyone would want to do this, is completely beyond me.

    I'm a RN. I wouldn't do it unless my MD told me to.

    I don't want to try it. I have heard from doctor that it can mess up your 'natural rythum' so to speak.

    I've considered going to a proctologist and have a colon cleansing done the good old fashioned way! Haha! But I don't have any experience with the pills. Sorry.

    I took a whole bottle of miralax before a colonoscopy and it was pretty bad. I can't imagine wanting to do that. If you are having constipation issues you can try miralax by the dose on the package or metamucil or benefiber. Good luck.

    Konsyl is completely natural, no added sugar or color. WalMart carries it.
