What are safe laxatives

[JessicaAnn 564]

I wouldn't recommend the mag citrate. That will literally have you running to the bathroom for hours! Miralax helped me. But in emergencies where I haven't gone in days and feel uncomfortable, I use milk of magnesia

Mag citrate is about 2to 3 dollars

I only needed 1/2 bottle of the magnesium citrate, this after 2 days of Miralax and finally went to the bathroom. I don't EVER want to do that again. My Dr.'s nurse who had surgery 3 years ago told me she puts 2 TBS in her shake every morning and has 2 Gummy Fiber chewies twice a day.

This girl right here will be taking her Miralax every single night! I didn't think I needed it anymore....Umm, I wouldn't wish what happened to me yesterday morning on my worst enemy! Please just take something!

Oh Molly sounds like you and I had the same kind of day. Sweating and near tears is no fun.

[Molly3 495]

Umm, I think I had a few screams......This was worse than giving birth! It was NO JOKE!

This is the reason my Surgeon recommended Metamucil ....Miralax is a laxative and people who use laxatives regularly can become laxative dependent and not be able to have normal movements without them.Metamucil is a fiber supplement and will make movements easier with the benefit of extra fiber that the body and especially the heart can benefit from. I use the Free and Clear kinds and it dissolves quickly and is just as tasteless as miralax and I use 2-3 teaspoons a day added to my drinks.

I was told Miralax which totally dissolves in liquid. Also told not to use Metamucil or benefiber because of the psyillium.

I use Free and Clear Metamucil which is made from Inulin Fiber and not Psyllium . Inulin Fiber is the same fiber that is in Phillips Fiber gummies and most Fiber Gummies:)
