Has anyone used Smooth Move Tea for Constipation? It was recommended to me but then I was warned about cramps that senna can cause... I'm curious to see what contrasting opinions I get... I like the idea of using something more natural rather than my current Miralax/Colace cocktail...

I've used senna and had no cramps. I think as long as you don't make a habit out if it, it's not bad for you.

I occasionally use Smooth Move tea. It does not give me cramps. You only need to drink one cup and you will go that day or the next.

I also really like Natural Vitality Calm raspberry lemon magnesium supplement. You mix 2 teaspoons in Water. I like heating up 3 ounces Water and adding it.

I use Smooth Move if it's been at least three days since my last BM. I am 6 months post op. I use it maybe once every three or four weeks. I make a cup just prior to going to bed. I have always had relief within an hour of waking. No cramps and I've never had it not work. But you will need to be able to repeatedly get to a bathroom quickly for a few hours. Good luck!

I use Laci Lebeau tea, Miralax, colace and milk of magnesia.

Good! Glad you have a cocktail that works. Constipation has been a real issue.

Used Smooth Move in the past with no issues. Something else I have found is that when I consistently have a Greek yogurt just before bed I stay regular also.

I've use Smooth Move as well when I can't stomach the thought of my Milk of Magnesia. MoM gets me moving a lot better, but Smooth Move is better for you.

I just found out about Natural Calm magnesium supplement. It was recommended to me for Constipation. After weeks and weeks and weeks of very uncomfortable, painful, and stressful constipation, I have found the holy grail! I use one heaping teaspoonful every other night, and I stay regular. If not, I up the dosage. Try it! I hope it works for you too!
