For Constipation "The reason you find that many people are writing reviews from the toilet is: after the "water works" from 2nd place, you began to wonder like... Oooookaaay, is this safe and. It humanly possible. So we were all actually googling to find out if we would love pass "the brown waterfall" experience.. And when does it stop, and can I drink water now...True or false? Good news is.. You will live, this my second experience. And if you think you got it bad, I took 2 bottles at once... Imagine that.."

For Constipation "So, I've had idiopathic constipation for a couple years now. I generally have it under control, but every once in a while I'm blocked up. I drank this at around 5pm, hoping to feel its effects before I went to sleep. By midnight I was frustrated and quite uncomfortable. I contemplated going to my 24hour CVS but decided to go to bed and go in the morning. There's a reason they say don't drink more than 1 bottle in 24 hours,OH BOY does this stuff work. Give it the full 24 hours before making any additional actions. I woke up and a couple minutes later found that I NEEDED the toilet about 3 times in a 1/2 hour. Past that I had a strong but not alarming urge once more and after that, my stool was watery but nothing close to diarrhea."

For Constipation "I have had approximately 14 feet of my small bowel removed along with half of my descending colon. I also have IBS but instead of having short bowel syndrome, I stay constipated. I can't strain, I've had all muscle removed from my abdomen. I feel like I can never finish my bowel movements and at times I'll not go for a week. I don't think it tastes bad at all. I got the lemon lime for $1 , grabbed a can of sprite and proceeded. I didn't drink but a quarter of the bottle and chased it with the sprite. Within about three hours I finally had some relief!! I'm just going to continue using it twice a week or so. And actually the kind I bought, tasted like sprite, carbonated. It worked better than liquid suppositories!!"

For Constipation "I've been backed up for a little over a week. I have chronic constipation and normally an enema gets the job done when I can't. Yesterday I tried an enema. The only thing that came out was the enema contents and about 3 jelly Bean size and shape poos. Today I went the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist what works best and told her about the failed enema. She recommended MC. It was 97 cents I got the lemon one. The taste wasn't great. Like salty Sprite. I took a 10 oz bottle at 1030am, drank water and went for a nap. It started gurgling right away but that was it. Until about 1pm. The first explosion had lots of solids with the massive amount of liquid poo. But I could still feel a large mass stuck. After 4 hours resting between destroying my toilet I added another enema. They worked together great and removed the large mass. It's been 6 hrs and I haven't pooed in 20mins and the gurgle has stopped. I'm climbing into bed to rest. I need it. Luckily my bathroom is close if I need it."

For Constipation "This is my second time taking it. I went to the doctor for sharp pain in my abdomen and he took some x-rays and told me I was constipated badly again. So he told me to take magnesium citrate again. This product definitely works. Took it around 6pm and had to go to the bathroom around 8:30pm to 9pm. You will literally pee out of your butt. Not joking. The reason I rated this a 7 is because the excruciating burning I got after going to the bathroom like 6 times after I took this. It makes your bottom raw. It was just so bad. But other than that yes it clears you out and turns your stool into water."

For Constipation "Bless the doctor who recommended this to me years ago. I have severe, chronic constipation and I need to clean out with magnesium citrate at least once if not twice a year, despite taking daily osmotic laxatives. 1 bottle will help but doing 2 bottles over two days is what I need for a full clean out. I took a bottle last night with my waist measuring a whopping 86cm. After 12 hours, it measures 76cm. I lost over 4 inches overnight because of how backed up I was, this is how great this works (if you're not constipated this won't make you lose weight). Drink tons of glasses of water throughout the 16 hours after taking this. Don't drink this and ONE glass of water and think you're done. I literally get another round every time I drink another glass. If you are severely backed up please try this. Also if you have a colonscopy scheduled and your doctor was a sadist and prescribed you with Go Lytely, insist on this instead."

For Constipation "Just had surgery 5 days ago and haven't gone to the bathroom since. Took other laxatives didn't work and I have a very sensitive stomach. The doctor told me to drink all 10 ounces of this, the cherry wasn't horrible but very sour. I took mine out of shot glasses to make it easier. Got about 8 ounces down couldn't drink anymore thought I was going to throw up. It's now 7 hours later and beginning to work! I feel better already! Wish I would have used this sooner."

For Constipation "I had been very constipated since I started dieting and losing weight. I was hardly pooping at all and it was making my stomach feel very uncomfortable. I started taking miralax but that takes days to work for me. So for immediate relief I picked up some mag citrate. I drank the whole 10 ounce bottle lemon flavor. It tasted tolerable but not great. After 2 hours still no results so I drank 3 big glasses of water and bam, after 10 more minutes I was on the toilet. This WILL give you watery diarrea so be prepared but the relief is amazing"

For Constipation "My antidepressants and thyroid problem make it extremely hard to go to the restroom everyday. I chug this down, and after about 15-30 minutes it starts. Pros: gets rid of everything it seems, instant relief Cons: taste makes me gag, and my stools come out very watery (probably normal) but this goes on until the next day for me, sort of embarrassing being over at a friends and having to use the restroom. I suggest you take it in the morning to prevent this from happening."

For Constipation "This stuff will GET YOU OUT of a jam!! Like many other commenters on this site, I write from the porcelain throne, after researching for hours whether or not this stuff is for me. I drank the entire bottle of Cherry MC. Then I drank a bottle of water (this part was hard, I was pretty nauseated). The water is what works it down! It took two or three hours to work for me. Since beginning this journey, it's been almost 11 hours and I'm still going strong. Scared to drink more water because THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE. I don't want to keep going but I need to stay hydrated. I feel relief from constipation, only to be met with the burning of liquid fire gushing out of my bum. Worth it. Baby Wipes, Water and A&D are a must to ride this ride."

For Constipation "So if you are like me, something as simple as using the rest room can become quite a scary event. Ive heard so many people talk about "picking the stuff out of their ass" and i about threw up!! I have been taking the usual go to products like milk of magnesia, miralax, mineral oil, ducolox stood softer and basically every over the counter thing you can image for some relief. Without fail MAGNESIUM CITRATE is a GOD SEND! I am a bigger guy so i have to drink 2 bottles and a ton of water but IT WILL WORK! The first inital poop might hurt but after that blockage goes, its smooth sailing. I would MUCH RATHER sit on the toilet with diahreah then STRAIN AND BE IN THE WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE everytime i try to poop. THANK GOD FOR THIS PRODUCT"

For Constipation "I have been constipated for 6 days. It seemed there was no relief in site for me. I took stool softener/laxative for a few days without any results. I then bought Exlax and took 4 pieces at one time. No result. I went to the ER as my stomach was hurting all up the sides and middle. The Dr. recommended Magnesium Citrate and told me to drink the entire bottle. I went to Family Dollar and it only was $1.25. I ate a sandwich prior to drinking.I drank the grape flavored Magnesium Citrate at 8:00 PM with 16 ounces of water. After a few hours, I was still in a lot of pain didn't feel anything happening. I couldn't even pass gas. at 1:30 AM It started. It is now almost 3:00 and I am still going. not sure how long this will last but I feel great!!"

For Constipation "Much like others, I write this review from the blissful toilet where I have finally found relief. I'm in my second trimester, and have had constipation for the entire pregnancy. Would go a little bit every three days, but never anything compared to what I used to be able to do. This week hit Peak Constipation. I had a blockage that I couldn't pass for six days, and developed constantly bleeding hemorrhoids. Gained five pounds, couldn't eat, was nauseous, and had taken Miralax for five days in a row. Caved and took Mag Citrate two hours ago and have finally found relief. Can't recommend this any more highly! (Also, FYI, my doc recommends it to pregnant constipated women who get this bad)"

For Constipation "Works 100% effectively. However, timing will be different for everyone. Works immediately for me every time, however the process is pretty drawn out. For some, it'll start and be done in a 3 hour time span. Personally, it started about an hour and a half after taking it, but had me running to the bathroom for over 12 hours. This has happened every time I've used it. So just make sure you give yourself a lot of down time from other activities after you take this. Very effective, though."

For Constipation "When going through chemotherapy many patients experince constipation. After trying every pill laxative I found magnesium citrate and boom it become a regular thing to do the week after chemo. Fast forward a couple years I had my boobs reduced, this time the anesthesia completely blocked me. Its not enough that my boobs look like they had a fight with Freddie Krueger but I can't use the bathroom! But of course I used magnesium citrate and again, problem solved."

For Constipation "So like everyone I'm sitting on the toilet. Went to the doctor 3 days ago after not going for a week. They told me to try MC because I was full of poop. The nurse was worried on how I had that much in me. Never heard of magnesium citrate and got the cherry. NASTY took so long to drink it but it worked well kinda. After 12 hours it stopped and I was still full of poop. And it was still hurting me. I thought why not get me another, so got grape this time. It tasted decent drank the whole thing in an hour. I've learned that's how your supposed to drink it. After 37 minutes it started. 6 hours later still going if I just stand up I wobble to the bathroom if my fiance shakes me I already go to the bathroom every time. 30 minutes now on the toilet I haven't stopped and my butts burning. I feel like its finishing me off like there is no end lol But I feel better at least. Stupid part is I took 3 laxatives on top of the drink. I need help lol I'm never gonna stop. My stomach just keeps making noises oh my gosh how long does it last."

For Constipation "I'm NEVER constipated so this experience was quite disturbing for me. It took me almost two weeks to realize that my stomach pain was due to constipation. And even then I was afraid to use a laxative as I've never had to use one ever in my life. I tried a Fleet enema 1st with very minimal results. Then two days later I couldn't take it anymore. (Every time I ate my stomach began to hurt either immediately or a short time after) so my mother told me to try magnesium citrate. I was scared to try it because a few people complained of throwing up after drinking it. Didn't want to add to the issues so I went ahead and got the cherry flavor. Couldn't drink it all but got about 8 of the 10 ounces down. "Clear skys" now! (no throw up)."

For Constipation "Always been quite constipated. Went to the ER twice last week with no relief. Went again last night and was given a Pink Lady enema. Was only able to hold it in 10 out of the 15 minutes. Basically just peed out my butt all the stuff they put in me. Severe cramping. Tummy super hard and distended. After a half hour got like 3 rabbit pellets. Got sent home with instructions to drink half bottle of magnesium citrate. Drank half bottle next morning on empty tummy. Took 20 min to kick in. Pure liquid out my butt now every 10 minutes for the past 4 hours. Just when I think it’s done. Surprise waterfalls all over again. Should have also bought an baby wipes and more lotion at the store. My butt burns. I wince every time I go now. Threw up violently because of the cramping. Came out both ends. Drank boat loads of water with it. Still very dehydrated can barely stand or hold my head up. Beware. Feels so good but hurts soo bad too."

For Constipation "I had been constipated over a week. The last two days were very bad and I had pushed so much I ruptured a hemorrhoid (that I got from pushing etc) and had bleeding. I was completely swollen and sore. I tried a saline enema and another the next morning. Stool softeners with laxative both days but no help. Mineral oil laxative and again no help. I was nauseated sick and very sore. I was about ready to go to the ER when a pharmacist recommended trying this. I drunk 8 of the 10 oz. Tasted okay. After the first 8 oz I was too nauseated to finish. After 1 hr it softened enough to push. After another hour I was vomiting but also able to use the bathroom and it was liquid every 15 min for about an hour. Woke up and had more liquid stool but feel great."

For Constipation "I have been on pain pills for the last 3 weeks for lower back and leg pain. As a result I became very constipated. I tried Stool Softener and Laxatives but had no luck. My stepmom suggested I try this product. OMG I am so HAPPY!!! This product really works!!! I drank a 10oz bottle of Magnesium Citrate and a 16oz bottle of water afterwards. Three hours later I had a TOUCHDOWN!!! My bowel ran like water. The great thing about this product is I had no stomach cramping or straining. I also put the bottle of Magnesium Citrate in the frezzer for about 5 minutes to chill before I dranked it. It's not the best tasting drink but it's not that bad either. Overall this product ROCKS! I will suggest to product to others."

For Constipation "I was constipated for a couple of days so I went to Walgreen and bought magnesiuim citrate. When I tell you this stuff is awesome people I mean it. About an hour later I was home free through out the time I felt stomach cramps and felt a little sick but it was worth it."

For Constipation "Didn't know I was constipated till I went to the bathroom for the first time in 5 days, that's when I found this page and decided to get magnesium citrate lime flavor tasted like sour sprite but no biggie. Drank a little more than half the bottle with a lot of water and two hours later worked like a miracle!"

For Constipation "This stuff is no joke! I only drank 8oz out of a 12oz bottle and it has been the most effective thing yet! I went 2 weeks with pebbles every other day. For the last week I have been taking stool softener tablets and the nasty powder! Nothing even comes close to this! I was running to the bathroom after 2 hours! The Lemon flavored one tastes like super sour sprite! If you are only having a day or so of tummy trouble this would not be for you!! Also, make sure you have baby wipes on stand-by!"
