For Constipation "At first, I thought since 1 pill was for kids, I guess I'll take 3 pills since I've always had problems with constipation. WORST MISTAKE EVER! I took these 3 horrid pills at 2 a.m. thinking they would work overnight. Here I am at 12:25 p.m. with extreme nausea & vomiting my guts out & major diarrhea. My stomach feels like I'm going into labor. These cramps are just too unbearable. I shouldn't have taken 3. I took 1 too many and now I'm learning my lesson the hard way."

For Constipation "I had used Correctol before with only minimal cramping, and it worked, so why not try again. Mistake. I took two pills around 7:00 P.M., and at 3:00 A.M., woke up with the worst cramps of my life. I was so sick I thought I was going to die! I was nauseated, started with cold sweats, heart racing. I really thought this is it, I'm having a heart attack. I contemplated calling 911, then the diarrhea hit and hard! I will NEVER take this product again. I was still in pain the following morning but thankful I survived this scary ordeal."
