Magnesium citrate
constipation
"I have ibs-c/sibo/food sensitivities, and periodic severe constipation. This medication has saved me from a trip to the emergency room on a few occasions. After a few days of miralax and mineral oil, with no results, I took 4 ounces of magnesium citrate liquid yesterday, with limited results in 2.5 hours. I went to sleep, and woke with pain under my right ribs. I took another 5 ounces, (9 hours after the first dose), and went back to sleep. I woke this morning to nothing but noise and gas. I tried a cup of coffee--success! The amount of time for it to work has varied each time I've taken it. This time, it was between 15 and 16 hours. Also, the cup of coffee really helped. Side effects (mild nausea, headache) are worth it. Good luck!"
