miralax after bowel obstruction adhesion surgery

I had a bowel obstruction due to an adhesion that caused it.  I have been on Miralax and phillips caplets, alternately with metamucil to keep things going. I was also diagnosed  with a rectocele before this happened.
My question severe headaches.  could it have any connection to the miralax or the magnesia?? and how long can I keep taking these since I have a severe problem

how long have you been on those medicines? I heard you shouldn't take them more than a week in a row.

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  I doubt that the headaches have any connection to the medications.  If by magnesia, you mean milk of magnesia, then it is safe to take either miralax or milk of magnesia for long periods of time (like years) as long as you are seeing a doctor while doing this.  You shouldn't take these medications for more than a week as doubleaaaron says, if you are not seeing a doctor.  If you are seeing a doctor then it is safe.
