I have a question

that is what I take - go ahead and take a whole one - they have not made that huge of an inpact on my bowels - they just are ummm easy and soft but still formed- sorry TMI

No, Not TMI at all.  I used to have no problem at all and then all of a sudden nothing...for days...was doing Corectol and then they stopped working, tried Go-Lightly that the surgeon gave me, did not work at all, bought suposatories and have not tried those yet.  I go but just a tiny little bit...and it can get really uncomfortable.  So last resort is this.  I will let you know after a couple of days if it works.

randomFYI on this - tricare won't cover it if you get a script and have to get it off base but it is cheaper then the lowest co pay

Thanks Danni.  I bought some today at Walmart and paid 13.00 for the bottle!  Not to bad.

that is wacky - I pay under $3 for 30 400 streanth pills?????

got it at CVS btw

I'm glad to read this. I just got through a bad spell with hard stools and constipation. I've read here about the magnesium but when I was at Vitamin Shoppe they had so many kinds...

Mag Citrate
Mag Oxide
Mag liquid
Mag liquid in a dropper
Mag powder
Mag Malate
Mag/Potassium

I was so confused! Now I know what to get. So far I've been taking 2 Colace a day and it's been working.

Dee,

I was taking Colace too but then all of a sudden it stopped working.  Also I was told by my doctor not to take them so much because you body starts to rely on them and then your insides stop working.  Scared me a little.  I will let you know how the Oxide works.  Thanks for replying.

See...that's what I'm afraid of happening with any of these 'remedies'. I do NOT want to mess up by bodies natural workings. We had to deal with that with my FIL.  Thanks...I'll be waiting to hear how yours works!
