Miralax Clean Out

Inspired by Susie’s Miralax (propylene glycol) clean out of her husband in “Full Metal Jacket”, I decided to give it a try. I mixed the 100 ml of Miralax per quart and flavored it with Crystal Lite drink mix. Susie’s recommended rate of consumption was 16 oz is one half quart every 15 minutes but to make it more challenging I would be expected to drink a full quart in 20 minutes. Failure to do so would result in punishment such as some cock, balls or nipple torture, or a good paddling of my butt if I did not drink it all in the 20 minutes. The solution would be administered from two open top enema bags which were to be filled with one quart of the solution at a time. The hose from the bags was connected to a new clean enema nozzle (like you get in the a standard enema bag kit) which was slipped inside a rubber hood with only nostril holes and a mouth opening just big enough for the nozzle.

I prepared the room placing the hook in the ceiling where I would hang and attaching the rope. I hung the enema bag on a nearby door. The bag was about 1 ½ feet above my mouth. I put on my wrist and ankle cuffs and hood with the nozzle and hose attached. Mistress guided me over to the rope. The spreader bar was then attached to my ankles and then hooking the cuffs to the snap she hoisted my arms high in the air. The hose from the enema bags was then attached to the hose from my hood. Mistress set the timer for 20 minutes and started the flow I was all ready to begin my “treatment”. The solution did not taste bad, like the sulfate/sulfide (?) bowel prep solution I have to drink for colonoscopy preps. It was surprising easy to gulp down the solution within 20 minutes, only stopping to catch my breath. By the time an hour was almost up I had drunk 2-1/2 quarts. Not sure how safe it would be continuing to drink such a large amount of fluid in such a short period of time we stopped. I also wasn’t sure how soon or how strong the urge to go would be. There was no urge to go until after the first half hour after having stopped drinking, but lots of urinating. The BM's became more urgent and frequent and the poohs softer as time went on until they were pretty much liquid by the fourth hour when the urge to go stopped. After that I did a series of 4 enemas to complete the clean out process. I’m thinking of trying this again, perhaps decreasing the time to drink a quart to 15 minutes, making it more challenging. My only concern is how much fluid/ polypropylene glycol solution is safe to drink in an hour to two hours. I’d appreciate any medical advice on this issue?

That is the ONE laxative I have never used, I am hearing that the real difficulty with Miralax is that, after the initial dose you have to take it several more times before it actually clears you out.

I have heard of taking it as often as every 30 minutes until you start to go, then every 2 hours until you get to a clear return.

@LisaK

Miralax is not really a laxative. It's a stool softener. The powder prevents water being absorbed from your GI tract so it softens the poo.

For clean outs, you have to drink enough to effectively give yourself an enema... by mouth. That's why you have to drink a lot of it. Essentially a 1 gallon Miralax prep is two, 2 Qt enemas, given top down.

To help get the solution where it';s needed a stimulant laxative is often given with the Miralax. This is sometimes 4 Dulcolax pills given a couple of hours before you start drinking. Alternatively some preps have a laxative added to the Miralax. GoLYTELY adds Glauber Salt (Sodium Sulphate). The laxative pushes the watery poo out more aggressively.

Also, when I got such a prep some years ago, I was given a pill designed to speed stomach emptying to reduce nausea.

I read a study, done several years ago, that tested the efficacy of enemas preceding the Miralax prep. As I recall, those patients in the study who received enemas prior to the Miralax prep, had a more satisfactory rating relative to the cleansing of the lower bowel.

In my case, I combined colon hydrotherapy, and an abreviated Miralax prep, prior to my last colonoscopy. I found it to be much more tolerable and without nausea as I had previously experienced. I was advised of the very satisfactory cleanse during my unsedated procedure.

So, it sounds like something that might be worth doing at the end of an enema-based cleanse,just to make sure you got it all out??

I've yet to have an oral bowel prep solution for a colonoscopy that I could take without a gag reflex at some. Most had a variety of Sulfates. Most people remember the awful ones. Are there any fast acting oral laxatives that "taste" descent?

BDRELover,

Miralax to me is very benign, especially compared to most others. You mix it in your favorite drink like iced tea or Gatorade (ICE Brand drinks for me) and it tastes more or less as if it had no taste. So you taste your drink, not the laxative, much better than most others. It's my go-to laxative now.

@BDRElover yes there sure is ,it's called lactulose it's an osmotic laxative that is sweet like sugar ,it's prescription only in the US but is available over the counter everywhere else ,it is also notorious in its ability to make you shit your pants ,only "laxative " known that increases it's effectiveness the more you try not to ,you will lose count on it ,plan for it ,get over it . It is used for everything from serious chronic constipation on up to emergency gastric Lavage and colonoscopy it all depends on how and how much you use ,it's a synthetic sugar ,sorbitol in large doses will do it also they are both great from mild clean outs to full colon blow .I have to take it 3 X's a day .

Both lactulose and sorbitol are used in diabetic candy and chewing gum ,lactulose is derived from Lactose the natural sugar in milk .

@SAP

Lactulosre is certainly a very effective laxative and can be all but tasteless in drinks, like fruit juice or coffee. A dose, given in the morning OJ, is virtually certain to make even the most determined withholder poo. If they refuse to sit on the toilet, they will surely fill their pants within a couple of hours. Often the result is preceded by a lot of farting. Lactulose, given as an enema, is also very effective, and tends to work several times over a few hours.

I do take issue with your comment "only "laxative " known that increases it's effectiveness the more you try not to (poo)". The urge from most all laxatives, suppositories and enemas increases the longer the urge is resisted. The exceptions are meds that just soften.

I have a colonoscopy scheduled for late December. The doctor gave me a sheet detailing the prep of a couple of Dulcolax tablets followed by Miralax and Gatorade.

Must be legit.

And cheaper than the $75 prescription cleanout I paid for (out of pocket) last time I had this done.

Wino v2,

How much fluid volume of mixed Miralax does it say to drink? More than one dose? Thanks,

Eric

@SAP & @Sean

Thanks for the info on Lactulose. Too bad it's not available without prescription in the US. I'd love to try it. May have to suggest it to my doctor for my next colonoscopy.

I'll have to dig the sheet out and see. I'll post the instructions in a day or so in case anyone is interested.

The colonoscopy prep using Miralax is the following:

Purchase TWO 8.3 ounce jars of Miralax and 4 quarts of liquid in which to dissolve it.

Dissolve the full contents of one 8.3 ounce (by weight) jar of miralax powder in 64 ounces of water/tea or gatorade that is not red colored. Drink 8 ounces every ten minutes until gone.

Usually this is done in two doses a few hours apart for best results. Use a second 8.3 ounce jar for the second dose dissolved in 64 ounces of liquid.

The first dose gets out all the solids and you will have diarrhea and be fairly clean. The second dose gets you really spotless inside.

All you taste is the flavor of the liquid you dissolve it in. This is NOT at all bad tasting.

You can buy the 17.9 ounce jars of Miralax at Costco very cheaply. Use half the jar for each dose. NO Rx is needed.

My husband and I have personal experience with this done for fun. 😁 😁 😁

An alternative is to use Movi-Prep which is an excellent two dose regimen by Rx. When I had my colonoscopy last November, I used Movi-Prep.

@SwitchableSusie

Just to clarify, by "dose" you mean two quarts of a drink with a full bottle of ca 240gm of Miralax dissolved in it. The dose is taken in 8 Oz glassfuls, one every 10 to 15 minutes and takes ca 2 hours to get it all down.

The person takes two such doses. Walking around helps reduce the nausea and makes the clean out work better.

Actually, 4 Dulcolax pills, taken about 2 hours before starting to drink the solution, reduces bloating because the strong laxative effect starts as your colon fills with solution.

I survived colonoscopy in August ,if you think I am full of shit ,you should of met me then , I drank Go Lytely and ate jello continuously for 4 days in order to get it done ,they checked every day to see if I was empty before hitting the next jug ,

You have not lived & died until you do that into a hospital diaper for 4 days,it was going to take a Hiroshima sized airfreshner to get the smell out .

SAP, every time you talk about what you have to put up with I am so glad I only have a slow bowel. Much easier to convince it to go when I want than it is to put up with what you do. Hope you have something in life that is easy and pleasurable.

If you are going to do that, why not just use a bottle of Magnesium Citrate, then 3 hours later a high dose of oral bisacodyl then 8 hours after that a bisacodyl suppository.

Makes more sense than drinking something every 10-15 minutes forcing yourself to go through more than a gallon!

@lisaK

A GoLytely prep not on;y makes you poo, but the fluid volume washes you out. Your prep will empty out the poo, but not do the washing.

I love the colon prep laxative, I need a full every 2 month or more often If I need a good punishment ?

I have done this for a colonoscopy prep and I hate it. It may not have any taste, but the feeling of it in the drink is awful. I can't imagine doing this for fun.

Using miralax prn for for play once in a while is safe, but take as directed. Don't try to guzzle it down. And bear in mind, it's not good for you to take supp, miralax, laxatives, or enemas on a regular basis as your bowels will become dependant on this to go.

Yes laxative make you a lot of dependency!

Saline but saline laxative if take sometime will not create tolerance

This idea piqued my curiosity, and since @SwitchableSusie mentioned Costco, I went to their site to confirm. It seems that they now have a generic alternative called "LaxaClear" which I imagine is a fair alternative to Miralax, since they say:

Compare to MiraLAX® Active Ingredient

Polyethylene Glycol 3,350

Yes?

Also, for the record -- it was at this viewing a little over $21 for the 100 doses, or 2x50 dose bottles. Each bottle contains 29.9 oz, so it seems you could get around 3.5 good cleanouts with this little purchase, according to the guidance from Suzie. Ya gotta love bulk generics!

Since it’s just my wife and I we don’t buy bulk at Costco Too much waste for the minimal savings.

We can do a group miralax coleanout day?

@Mara90 said

We can do a group miralax coleanout day?

ONLY if there are several toilets available.

I don't think we want a line of people standing side to side and cheek to cheek shitting into a bathtub!

@sean Your comment about Golytely being "like an enema given from the top is actually similar to what I experienced last weekend when I took that home made Suprep!

The difference from an enema was essentially that there's NO SUCH THING AS RETENTION!!

I started drinking it about 6 AM on Saturday. I had been on liquid diet since 6 PM Thursday

Got the last of it down about 6:15. I was starting to feel a little queasy by the time I got the last sip down .

Started feeling my gut churning 6:20 I had planned for this and set myself up just outside the bathroom 14 steps from the toilet with the lid up, the seat down and a clear path into and across the bathroom,

6:55 AM I got a little bit of feeling like I could go if I had to. That lasted maybe half a minute if that.

7:20 AM, Nothing I could do except get on the toilet before anything got on the floor!

After the initial expulsion there were more over the next while.

After I thought I was done I wasn't Every move, or shift on the toilet or try to clean myself up, a little more would come out. It was almost the way I have read about care givers describing cholera patients!

By Noon, when I was supposed to take the second dose, I was already peeing out my butt.

I tried suprep one time and... yes is like you description...

I love the full feeling and the water sound inside my belly during the effect..

For my recent colonoscopy I was instructed to stop all solid foods the night before the day before the procedure. (So my last meal was Saturday night for a Monday morning scope.)

Sunday around noon I took two Dulcolax.

Sunday night I poured half of a 27 ounce bottle of Miralax into a quart of Gatorade and drank it in 15 minutes. (Didn't taste nearly as hideous as the prescription bowel prep I took 5 years ago.) I want to say an hour or two later I felt the urge to evacuate. And I went once or twice again with a diarrhea-like consistency.

Being afraid of falling asleep and making a mess of myself and the sofa, I stayed awake all night reading and watching TV. At 3:00 I drank the other half of the miralax in another quart of Gatorade.

This had an almost immediate result. But by now I was just passing yellow liquid. I continued to do so right up until I arrived at the hospital at 7:30 for a 9:00 procedure.

I ended up going at the hospital once. And thought I was going to have to go again when the nurse rolled me into the procedure room. She said not to worry about it because they would auction everything out once I was put under.
