Wow! You consider having a BM every 2-3 days C? I would consider that Heaven. I can only dream. Try a BM every 10-15 days, and that is with help.

Fancymom, is this a liquid or a pill? Where do you get it from and how much do you take? Thanks

Yes. I definitely considered it IBS-C, since it was only about 4 tiny, hard rabbit pellets. And I always looked 6 months pregnant!
Every 10-15 days?? I think I would be in the ER. You poor thing! That is total misery.

Hi Cyndy. It is just the mineral - Magnesium. It is a pill. I buy it in the form of Magnesium citrate because that is the easiest for our bodies to absorb. I like it because our bodies need it anyway. In fact, I did some research and found that over 70% of people in the US are magnesium deficient. It has really helped me with my constipation!! Also, you can try Vitamin C. That really helps too!!
Good luck -

Thanks fancymom. At first I thought you were talking about that liquid crap they make you drink before a colonoscopy. The green bottle gunck.
how many milligrams of magnesium do you take a day? I'm using 3 tsp of natual calm magnesium and it does help. I'm also on Mirilax too, though!

LOL! Oh my...I would never recommend something so nasty
I used to take natural calm, but I didn't like the taste, and it didn't seem to work very well for me. I take about 600mg/day of Mag Citrate. Some days a little more, some days a little less. Depending on how gassy and constipated I am...

1) Should I avoid prune juice?
-I found one at the store today by Sunsweet
-It says it is 100% Prune Juice, no preservatives, no added sugar, or anything artifical....safe?
2) I take Miralax, does colace or mag citrate work better?
-Can I take both or all 3 together?
