Oh, I'm sorry you're feeling so terrible.  But don't be scared! And don't panic because this will just make you feel worse. You'll be okay. Five days isn't too long - and it can happen especially after having several attacks over the weekend.
Make yourself some tea (peppermint or ginger or chamomile), eat something if you can, and maybe that will help your nausea. I don't know too much about Milk of Magnesia or how it works, but maybe someone else can let you know how soon it should work. You could try doing some of the yoga exercises Heather provides on her site: Yoga Poses for IBS Otherise, I think it would help to make yourself comfortable, do something to distract your mind from obsessing over having a BM.
Hugs!

well don't be scared! I recently went ELEVEN days! Had to do something so I took 3 Ex-lax. If IBS-C is your problem, you might try Dulcolax, one pill in a.m., one pill p.m. After, of course, you have "emptied".
Good luck!

Yeah, as ellyblue sais, that's what I used to do too, when I hadn't gone for more than 7 days straight -- take ex lax. It works.
That's if the MOM doesn't work. I hope it does, but it did nothing for me. Luckily the Mag citrate worked like a charm (you might want to have some of that handy for later use, have you ever taken that, aka Natural Calm?).
I understand why you're scared, but really, it's not that bad. You have options. Take ex lax.

So, did you try taking ex lax? MOM didn't do ANYTHING for me (didn't make me go, I mean, just the side effects).
Going to the ER would not be a nice experience.
