Miralax and ankle swelling
I don't think so. I googled side effects of Miralax and found things like cramping, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness and sweating, but nothing about swelling in the ankles or elsewhere. You could ask your pharmacist, though.

I take that 3-4 capfulls a day and I did not noticed thast reaction. If nothing else - Miralax pulls water into the colon so it also acts like diuretic.
Leg edema sometimes is caused by very low protein level.. How is you proteins intake ? When was your last blood work?
