When I was REALLY sick and couldn't figure out anymore what did order didn't make me sick, and I was on 8 prescriptions, I I read ALL ingredients in everything that went into my stomach. And you would be surprised what all is in the medications you take. That includes chemical processes used to make them. Remember, white pills doesn't mean they are so much safer cause no color is added. It can also mean a bleaching process to make them white. They add stuff to make it shelf stable, add stuff so pills doesn't stick together... In metamucil they add silica- do you know what that is? When I got sick on sulfasalazine I was told to stay away from sulfa. And I discovered most dried fruits have sulfa in then AND under government regulations it doesn't have to be on the label as long as they only use a certain amount. So if you eat raisins with sulfa that isn't on the label, and you binge eat them for constipation(just saying) you may be getting more sulfa then the government regulations...just a thought!
If you have problems with milk, did you know there's quite a few pills with milk in them? My DRs said miralax is safe too but it reminded me of chemicals. I did find it interesting what information you can pull up on medications
