Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you fro asking on HCM!
You are reporting to have nausea after using Miralax and getoard.
Nausea is the main side effect of Miralax.
If I were your treating doctor I would suggest:
1. Stop miralax use and start to use oral sodium phosphate. it has less side effects than Miralax.
2. Start to use anti emetic drugs like reglan or metochlopramide.
3. Take plenty of water
4. Try to take sodium phosphate slowly and with water.
Hope it was helpful to you.
