I used Milk of Magnesia. It didn't taste terrible. I drank it before bead, slept almost 9 hours, and easily used the restroom when I got out of bed. I didn't feel sick, I had no cramping, and I didn't have to run to the bathroom. It was great relief, and I will use it again. Btw, I took the max dosage of 4 tbs of the liquid.
