I'm not a "Potty Animal" any more since I started taking Miralax every day, but I've morphed into the "Gas Bag". My stomach area seems to be in a constant uproar! I get awakened in the middle of the night with a BUB-BUB-Bub-Bub-bub-bubble sound (and feeling!) chasing itself from one side of my abdomen to the other. Then a Gurgle-Gurgle-gurgle-gurgle combination travels in the other direction. Mix in a blip-blip-blip-blip feeling in a stationary spot, and the always popular general rumbling, grumbling, and g-rrr-owling, and the concert ensues.
It seems like the constant bubbling is a direct result of the laxative use. (Well, duh!) But I'm not used to laxatives. Is there some happy medium between none and daily use? Any suggestions? Other than going cold-turkey? (As bad as the gas-bag phenomenon and increased number of short bathroom visits are, it's better than spending a couple of hours at a time in the bathroom.)

Ed
