Well I just wanted to forewarn people about a recent mistake I made! In the paper work I had from the doctor's office it said to take some milk of magnsesia for constipation that commonly occurs after surgery. Well it did not say how much so I just took it based on the directions from the bottle which said to take 2-4 tbls. So I took some at night and some the next morning! Huge Mistake! It has been awful and painful! When I looked more closely in some of my other materials I noticed that it said to only take about 1tsp! Everything I eat is coming out of me in a very painful fashion. I am worried that the cramping will cause problems for my hernia that is fixed. I am so mad at myself as I feel if I would be doing much better right now if I had not done this!! Anyways I am hoping this goes away soon and my life become manageable again. I feel like I totally set myself back here!

I'm so sorry you are going through that! I hope you get to feeling better very soon.

Thank you for sharing this, though. It's just the kind of mistake I would have made, too!

OMG I am sooo sorry to hear about this. No one needs anymore pain than they are already dealing with.

Thank you so much for sharing and saving others to the possibly having to go through that as well.

Sorry you are having all that pain...I have heard that applying a heating pad to the area & Gas x help...anythingis worth a try....Hope youa re felling better soon...

Sorry to hear your hurting..........Hang in there ....as they say " This too shall pass".......You're still on your way to a healthier you........

Hang in there.....

Thank you everyone for all of your support. I am doing just fine now and everything is back in working order!

Oh man, this stinks! I'm sorry that happened to you. :glare:

I went with the Gas-x, and I wonder if we were supposed to take a different dosage of that too? I was doing 2 strips, recommended was 2-4. Interesting.

Well, this is a good warning for everyone else though I am sorry it happened to you!

thank you skinnybyrd for the update on the M.O.M because my docs did suggest taking it and I would have totally did what the directions on the bottle said. Thank you for looking out for you fellow banditos, although I am very sorry that you had to find out this way.

Glad you are back to normal..
