For Constipation "Will never take again. Took 2 pills 2 hours ago and am in the worst pain ever. THE PAIN IS SO SEVERE it's coming through my back. I'm doubled over on the floor of my bathroom. I can't even get up. How is there not a lawsuit after all these reviews. I barely have used the bathroom. If pain gets much worse I am going to the emergency room. It is so bad and it is not my lower stomach. Its from belly button up and coming out my back. DO NOT USE THIS STUFF. IT WILL HURT YOU. IT IS DANGEROUS"

For Constipation "Worst experience EVER! I took 2 of them on Sunday night around 8pm. I had several bowel movements the next morning when I woke up. Felt fine. As I began my day, I started to feel queasy. I had a light breakfast and drank some tea. By noon I was throwing my guts up and blood like too. After I threw up I was fine, there was nothing on my stomach. I ate a bowl of chicken noodle soup/crackers and ginger ale....couldn't even keep it down an hour and threw it all back up. Mine was coming up and not out. Around 6pm ate a few more crackers/ginger ale because I was so weak. I broke out in a horrible sweat and it was coming out of both ends. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! I will use natural products in the future."

For Constipation "I took one last night, only worked a little, took one more today, hope it works by morning without bad side affects. I used to take 2 laxatives at once but experienced faintness, nausea & severe hot flashes. So I only will one and not repeat dose for at least 12 hours."

For Constipation "Does not work. I took it at 8:30 last night. It's 6:50 in the morning. Correctol should not take this long to work, its a constipation medication. I've been suffering from really bad cramps since I've taken it. I would have just left it alone and went to the ER instead. They can give you medication that works in minutes."
