I always found if I drank a lot of water it would work. Try drinking another glass of water then it should "kick" in.

I found that for me it takes about 6 hours to work regardless of how much water I chase it with. :-( I was taking it at least once a week there for awhile, but now I realized that raisins work well for me. :-) A bit each day has kept me regular when nothing else was working for me. Good luck to you!

We are all different. Heck, I took double the dose several times and I was still "full of it". lol It never did work for me. ;)

Natural remedies that I prefer over MOM...popcorn 2 or 3 times a week (about 1/2 a bad of the micro kind), raisins (as suggested by someone earlier), watermelon - EXCELLENT and sweet and goes down sooo well!
