I'm having problems with Miralax. I think it is dehydrating me too much. Having a kidney transplant, I need to stay hydrated, and it has always been hard for me to do because I just don't like water or anything else in large amounts. My colostomy doctor and I don't have a great relationship, but she is very vague with answers. I assume I'm supposed to take a dose of Miralax before every meal or snack, and I think it is dehydrating me. I try to drink more water or fluids than before the colostomy, but I still end up dehydrated. So I'm wondering if there is something I can use instead of Miralax that is okay for the colostomy. Any and all advice will be appreciated. Thanks
