My Wife Has Been Taking Metamucil For A Long Time.

My wife has been taking metamucil for a long time. She became constipated. She was prescribed Miralax in addition to the metamucil. She had considerable very loose stool after taking both. I have stopped her taking the Miralax. She has very solid stools. Is it appropriate to continue the stoppage of Miralax, but take a laxative pii, say once every 12 hours.
