I have a question

Hey Ya'll

I was just at Walmart and bought some Magnesium Oxide was told it would help with constipation.  Once I got it home I started thinking weather or not I should be taking it.  So here I am asking you guys.  Have any of you ever used it?  Thanks.  Michelle

Since you have has recent gastric issues I'd ask your doc!  It might be too harsh for you.

Thanks Kris. I called and spoke to my surgeons Nurse and she said it was fine for me to take it! Thank you for responding.

MICHELLE-do be careful to drink plenty of water the next few days-Mag products like that can deplete you--some Gatorade might be a good idea also

Thanks Gina..I really it will help with the constipation.  Nothing else has worked.  I will make sure and get tons of water.  I drink a lot of it anyway but will make sure of it.  I knew you would come through you always do!

What is this product you are going to take? It isn't Citroma is it!! When we lived in DC Ken asked the pharmacist at the train station what I should take and he told him to have me drink a bottle of citroma!! OMG I think I even slept on the toilet!! I was only suppose to take 2 tablespoons!! My Dad laughed his ass off over this!! He was a Doc!! Read the directionas carefully!!

Hey Meggie,

It is not Citroma.  It is Magnezium Oxide.  My mom takes it daily and she says it helps with her constipation so I am hoping it will help with mine.  It was something I had to ask the pharmacist for cause they keep it behind the counter.  I will let you know in a few days if it has worked.  Thanks Meggie!!  Hugs

LOL Meg..... I had something similar happen to me.  When I was pregnant with my daughter, they wouldn't let me take anything except for colace and Myralax.  Neither product worked.  Someone told my mother about magnesium.  She bought me some kind of magnesium gel.  She said something about a tubbing a quarter-sized amount into my hands.  I forgot about that tid bit of info.  (To be honest, I am so stubborn that I wouldn't have listened even if I DID remember that.)  I was almost impacted I was so constipated so I rubbed into my skin from my hands all the way up to my elbows.  I wasn't sure if this product worked, but I was sure I needed more than most people because of how badly constipated I was.  LOL..... I don't remember if it was two or three days but I couldn't get off the pot.  Every time I would eat or drink ANYTHING.... I would have to do it on the toilet.  That is how fast it went through me.

ok this is trippy b/c that is what the nero gave me for maintance to lower my migraines - and it is working LOL I have noticed no bathroom issues but would have never made the conectioin - what is the dose for consipation?

The tablets I got are 400 mg.  It was my Mom that told me to use it for constipation.  She said she takes one at night and one in the morning and it keeps her regular.  I think I will start with a 1/2 and go from there.
