Magnesium citrate and constipation

[sign2menow 0]

What is the recommended dose of magnesium,citrate post op. I have had terrible Constipation issues since surgery. I am currently sipping on it but was wondering if I need to drink the whole bottle

it's pretty strong - may want to just drink half a bottle first. If that doesn't do the trick, have the rest of it tomorrow. Some people have explosive diarrhea if they get too much of it.

I used a half dose of milk of magnesia twice a day. If I did that then it work but not too much too quickly.

I'd start with milk of magnesia first. Mag citrate will blow you out and dehydrate you pretty quickly. Even at half a bottle.

The thing to know about milk of magnesia is that, for me at least, it gives me the gentle suggestion that I might need to go to the bathroom. If I ignore it then it doesn't really remind me again lol.

Thanks I took 1/2 bottle of magnesium citrate all it done was make me Per alot. Nothing in the forms of bowel movement. Called gastro they refuse to see me because in under surgeons care. He is of no help I have tried everything. Surgeon ask how do you know you are constipated? Ugh

Must be bad! Try the other half of the bottle. I've never had it fail to work for me. Talking 10+ times.

I’m currently taking half a fibogel sachet morning and night on days I don’t have a bowel movement- seems to be working great.
