A Milk of Magnesia Symphony

Pre-VSG surgery I had IBS and had diarrhea 4 days out of 7. They told me that VSG often cures IBS. Well in my case it did and I have not been this constipated in at least 40 years. My surgeon recommended Milk of Magnesia whenever it goes on for too many days. It does seem to be milder than some other alternatives.
Today was my 6 month check-up and I felt clogged up so I took some MOM at bedtime. At 3 a.m. i woke up and my stomach was singing up a real chorus. It really was quite funny and it didn't stop for over an hour. My stomach has never made so much noise. LOL!!!!
