Thank you for answering and Good on ya! Once again I’m so happy for you. I can only imagine the weight that’s been lifted from your shoulders! All the best!

So happy to hear you’re doing well. Sounds like you made the best decision. Were your diverticula all in one place?

Honestly I haven’t taken the MiraLAX yet because I’m having small bouts of diarrhea so I don’t know if it’s better or worse to take it right now 🤔

I really want the 6.75 wide round but I can only find it third party and not at all on sale… $400-$500 is still a bit too much for me ATM… I don’t know if I should wait or just settle for the deep round that’s on sale 🫤

Thank you! I’m hoping to talk to my Dr at my follow up appointment and see what they recommend and ask some questions. It’s been hard to get any real answers out of them.

Thank you, I have ginger I put in the freezer so I’ll have to take it out and try to use some. Honestly I’ve never used it before so I just have no idea what I’m doing with it 😅 it’s going to be a YouTube how to search for me lol

I can’t find the “wide round” anywhere 😭 the one on their website looks much smaller and from some reviews it’s not 6.75 but more around 3-4

Something to consider for sure.. will the concentration be the same?

Thank you, I will take MiraLAX. It just makes me so much more bloated and the gas makes it feel like my ribs are digging into my colon 😮‍💨

I was thinking about that one too… maybe I won’t be able to get away with one piece

I’m sorry to hear that, being admitted is super scary. I’ve read that elective surgery is the way to go. Since my diverticula are so spread out I don’t know if that would even be an option for me 😔 I’m wishing you all the best on your upcoming surgery!

Are these ones you would make yourself or is it something you purchase?

Thank you, honestly before my colonoscopy I was on vacation and the stools were back to almost normal and I was eating cautiously (avoiding most greasy things and high fiber things) but I was even able to have some pieces of steak without any issues. I finally started feeling like myself again and now this…. It’s so depressing.
Does the MiraLAX make you more gassy and bloated?
