ClearLax for Constipation Reviews

"I haven't used the bathroom like I was supposed to in the last month. I have taken Fleet and other laxatives, but they just did not work. I felt so bloated, and I never stopped eating. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to the doctor, and she prescribed me something to take. The medicine that she prescribed for me wasn't covered by my insurance, so I went to Walmart and saw that ClearLax had almost the same ingredients. I bought some apple juice and mixed it together. About an hour later, I really used the bathroom, and I feel great. If it works for me, it is some good stuff, and I am serious."


"I've been taking ClearLax for a little over a week now. I kept complaining to my wife for years about bowel movement troubles. She told me if I'm having so much trouble to buy some Miralax. I found ClearLax with the same ingredients as Miralax. Anyway, my constipation was driving me crazy and was painful. I was having trouble with hemorrhoids, stomach cramps, bowel movements, and etc., you name it. I no longer use Preparation H and feel great."


"I take bicycodil and 1 cap of clear lax (in water or Sprite/7up) before bedtime - it works brilliantly for me. Highly recommend that you at least try Clearlax; you don't have to use the dulcolax/major tablets with it but that's what works for ME .. so everyone's body is different. I have not experienced any upset tummy as I did with dulcolax; but with the major and clear lax, I feel perfectly fine and good to get on with my day after noon .."


"Following horrific food poisoning, I became extremely constipated. Could not poop for roughly 2 weeks. I have IBS-C and ClearLax (polyethylene glycol 33350) is the only medication that has helped me. 3 days post taking ClearLax, I had a loose bowel movement that was smelly. But after I cut the amount of ClearLax from 17g to 10g, BM's have been relatively normal. Side effects: queasiness after drinking ClearLax with water, rumbling stomach, excessive gas, and looser BM's. there is a slight flavor to it, almost tastes like artificial cucumber. Highly recommend this product"


"It works but is hard to regulate dose. I always eat a lot fruits and veg so sometimes I cut down dosage then stop going. Some others have results in a day or two, takes at least 3 to 4 days for me. Eating the way I do its hard to regulate especially having to wait for result. I really like the product, just sometime it works too good!!!"


"I struggle with constipation and other stomach issues. This stuff works better than almost everything I have tried. It gets things moving within 2-3 days after I take the first dose. I usually stick to every other-day dosing when things get backed up. I like to pair this with IBgard/FDgard. It works wonders. Highly Recommend!!!"


"I have been using ClearLax for 3 months, as I take many medications every day that constipate me. I have not had any problems and continue to take it every day with no problems."


"The low keto diet my doctor put me on plugged me up a little, so I tried this product ClearLax, and it worked like a charm!"


"Take once a day. Effective but pronounced stomach cramps."


"I take ClearLax every day and it works great. Only thing that has made me regular on an ongoing basis."
