I would consider that Heaven. I can only dream. Try a BM every 10-15 days, and that is with help.

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. -------------------- FancyMom IBS-A,Constipation predominant, GERD Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Magnesium Citrate       #356444 - 03/08/10 08:17 AM Edit Reply Quote fancymom Reged: 09/17/07 Posts: 506 Loc: SC 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 - -------------------- FancyMom IBS-A,Constipation predominant, GERD Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Magnesium Citrate       #356448 - 03/08/10 08:29 AM Edit Reply Quote Cyndy Reged: 03/05/05 Posts: 1301 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!

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... -------------------- FancyMom IBS-A,Constipation predominant, GERD Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Magnesium Citrate       #358327 - 05/03/10 01:09 PM Edit Reply Quote Naturapanic Reged: 02/16/06 Posts: 856 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? -------------------- IBS-C and Bloating Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Magnesium Citrate       #358432 - 05/05/10 07:44 PM Edit Reply Quote Naturapanic Reged: 02/16/06 Posts: 856 ? -------------------- IBS-C and Bloating Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | >> (show all)
