Constipation

do you know how much water in take the tablets require ?

Joann,
    I had such a problem with constipation that I went to my PCM and he prescribed me something by the name of "Lactulose."  It works great, but the side effect is MAJOR flatulence .  I tried several over the counter remedies and nothing worked. I take my lactulose daily, but if I know I have to be somewhere, I will hold off on taking it until I go to bed due to the embarassing side effrct. It is a really sweet syrup that your Dr. can prescribe and it is harmless enough that they prescribe it to babies. Well worth the trip to the Dr's office! Good luck,

Jen-

Thanks Jen I will call my Dr tomorrow ASAP ! Still haven't been able to go sipping on prune juice as we speak!

Magnesium Citrate worked! I had used this for my colonoscopy  so I knew it would.
I only used about 2 oz. and it worked within 3 hours!
this was the worse case I had yet, now I know I have to pro-active and keeping regular.
