SJMusicalman103 25 Posted September 22, 2013 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...

gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 22, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SJMusicalman103 25 Posted September 22, 2013 I thought there was senna in Smooth Move? There is senna in Smooth Move... That's part of my original post because I heard senna can cause cramping... I just want to try something natural Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
disney2013 0 Posted September 22, 2013 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.

char73 11 Posted September 23, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chinamama 104 Posted September 25, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeriouslyChange 319 Posted September 25, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lclemur 161 Posted June 27, 2015 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
