help please!!!!

I'm severly constipated, I have had two bowl movements in two weeks. My doctor said I can take miralax, I have been taking it for 5 days and nothing. At what point do I need to go in to the doctor? Should I just start taking more miralax?

Colace is what you should try. Also, have you had your iron levels checked recently?

I used colace stool softener and it worked better than the fiber drinks like miralax
