Miralax is good. Just make sure you take the right medicine, read your labels. Some products are stool softeners and some are stimulants. If your going but its harder, take a softener but to get things moving, you want a good stimulant. My sons GI recommends he eats Activia yogurt every day, or Yoplait's Yo+, even when he isn't having problems because it promotes digestive health. Also limit your sugars and white flour products to keep a healthier colon. Drinking lots of water is another good thing
