I've been having a lot of trouble with constipation so I desided to get some magnesium citrate to help speed things up. I didn't realize it's fizzy til I started to drink it. I'm only 4wks out and really need to take it...i tried Miralax but to no avail.

Is it gonna kill me to actually drink it even though we are not supposed to have carbination??? I NEED RELIEF!!!!

You will more than likely just be a little uncomfortable from the carbonation. But, nothing serious will happen.

if your too worried about it.. i know that you can find it in pill form aswell

Regarding relief, if it's possible you might consider an old fashioned enema. If you are really bound up it takes a while. If you've never done one before, they require time as the saline Water needs to be absorbed into the waste to soften it and pass. I was just about ready to do that earlier this week and finally managed to pass that brick. Next time (although I hope daily Miralax will keep it from happening again) I will just through in the towel early and get a disposable enema, a book and wait it out.

If you've never had the experience, after putting the water into your body, lay down on your back or side for as long as you can letting the water be absorbed. I usually read for a while. It's certainly not fun or something people talk about much but it's a cheap way to solve the problem and not cause yourself too much harm.

stir is up until the fizz dies down...

Ok....i was able to drink about half of the 10oz bottle before the pain from the carbonation took over. I have been going to the restroom better good now...lol....and left the rest open on the counter to let the thing get flat. I'll drink the rest tomorrow. But I've been uncomfortable from the fizz for about two hours now. Let's hope I don't need to do this again!!!

*pretty good, not better good....lol stupid swipe keypad....

THE STALL HAS BROKEN!!!! Dropped 5lbs thanks to the magnesium citrate!!!!!!!

I need to try this then
