I think I told you...
At first, I had to take ex-lax and Miralax (those two sucked bad). Miralax is a prescription thing that my doctor gave me, because MOM was doing nothing. When I think about it, maybe I wasn't shaking the bottle enough when I took it, and that's probably why it didn't work, but anyway, I'm glad it happened that way, because...
Then I found about Magnesium Citrate! That was COOL! I found it in the local pharmacy with a cherry taste, mmm. I also bought Natural Calm, because everyone on this board was talking about it at the time (thankfully, otherwise I would have never found out about it!!!), but the taste was bad so I went for the cherry  Plus the cherry one seemed to work so wonderfully -- no cramping, NO GAS (as Miralax made me have gas), no unpleasant feelings.
About Natural Calm, I got an orange flavor and it tasted bad, but maybe the raspberry doesn't...
Anyway, the Natural Calm and the Mag Citrate are supposed to be the same (in terms of their main ingredient). Natural Calm has stevia, whereas the generic thing (cherry flavor) was made with sugar. The only reason I did not use Natural Calm (although I knew everyone liked it) is the taste, LOL.
MOM, I've read on this board, is less gentle and may cause cramping. That's why, if you can find mag citrate, give it a try.
