I still have this problem 4 mos out Milk of magnesia works very well and doesn't cause cramps.. My son's stomach doctor told me to use that one.

Right after my surgery the pain meds and combined with the trauma of surgery to your body I was severely constipated. I hadn't gone for 5 days and I tried everything and I mean everything then my surgeon suggested Magnesium citrate but to only drink like a 1/4 cup, I did and it moved me. Yes it caused me to have diarrhea afterwards but I was glad to get that compacted mess out. You might try drinking that. To this day I still keep it on hand when I get that way. Good luck. Hope you feel better.
