Magnesium Citrate...

Has anyone used this after surgery?? I haven't had a BM in 4 days and I feel uncomfortable. The tea I drink isn't working and the other meds would take too long,

In 9 1/2 was. I use ducolax gentle for women n started solace around 1 month. Water too

I would think that would make you sick because of the amount you would have to drink plus I think it's carbonated. I'm having a hard time and have used enemas and suppositories.

I use Bluebonnet cal/mag/d3...The mag in those 2 T does the trick...never miss a day and you need the cal and d anyway. Get at amazon...is liquid...1200 Calcium. I'm 12 days out.

I was using colace in the beginning with one time having to use Milk of Magnesia (spelling?). Since then I've been doing fine on my own.

Milk of magnesia works well:) Dr recommended it, otherwise Miralax

I hear you on that. I have to find something that works..Co lace, tea doesn't help. And I hate the enema part. I mine as well buy them by the case at this rate...lol

I had to drink a bottle I think 11oz at 5pm the day before surgery. Yes it works! But it doesnt feel good. I can't imagine using it post op.

Try other stuff first or ask your Dr. It was a funky awkward mega diahrea feeling.
