For Constipation "I drank a little over half the bottle at 12 pm. My belly started hurting, and I felt like throwing up. Took a nap at 4 pm, I drank the other half. At 4:17, I finally got a little poop out. Still at 5 pm, I still feel bloated and feel like throwing up. Not much happening here, and no, I'm not dehydrated, I drink plenty of water. Also, I had 2 12 oz bottles of water to get the taste of the salty cherry slime out of my mouth and 2 little Gatorades. I would rather have drunk the slimy lemon stuff for the colonoscopy, at least it's quick."

For Constipation "I was told to try citrate to cleanse myself and for bloating. I drank a whole bottle and 8 oz of water on an empty stomach, as stated on the bottle. At first, I felt nauseous and wanting to vomit. But then, I had the urge and rushed to the porcelain throne. I’ve been pooping pee since 11 a.m. to now 6 p.m. I’ve been drinking nothing but fluids and chicken broth as food. Even though I’m still pooping pee, I feel so much better. I’m hoping it’s gone by tomorrow, or my plans are going to get canceled. Highly recommend this product if you need to cleanse yourself. But, make sure you're at home, or you’ll be sorry."

For Constipation "After 3 days of feeling nauseous and constipated while at Disney World, I took 3 laxatives to clean me out around 9:30 pm. They did not work, so I drank about 4 oz. of this stuff around 9:00 am and have been going every 30 minutes until 30 min. before Animal Kingdom closes (8:00 pm). I’m writing this in the bathroom in Pandora while my family rides Flight of Passage… needless to say, don’t do this while you are at Disney World."

For Constipation "I have been constipated for 2 weeks from morphine and surgery. I have taken all over-the-counter laxatives in this last week, got me a few bottles of magnesium citrate, still nothing. I feel very nauseated, tired, and just yucky. Very frustrated, my doctor has been trying to help with no success yet."

For Constipation "I had to drink the whole bottle plus some Dulcolax and Miralax to prep for my colonoscopy. I chose lemon flavor and was worried about a nasty taste, but it wasn’t bad at all. It tasted like a very sweet glass of lemonade, then add in another cup of sugar. I drank it all just fine, a few sips at a time, finishing it all in about 15 minutes. Easy-peasy. But, about ten minutes after that, I started to feel queasy and sweaty. Then minutes later, I threw it all up. I’m sure the fault was all mine as I have a sensitive stomach. I called the doctor for further instructions and was told this is somewhat common and just push lots of clear liquids with the Miralax. Everything worked out fine by the end of the day and I was fully ready for the procedure the next morning. Just wanted everyone to know the taste is nothing to fear (referring to lemon flavor), and I would take it again if necessary, but would spread the sips out by about an hour or two to keep it down."

For Constipation "I did this because I get severe constipation… and if I go, it’s little to nothing, and I have this urge to, and I never can just go normally. So this was my last resort, and now I am throwing up from my butt. It sounds like I’m peeing. I took it at 6 pm and it started to work around 9 pm. The first one was solid, the rest is just straight hot liquid. Like lava. Now I’m wondering when it’ll stop."

For Constipation "It took my body five hours for it to work. I’m so glad that I went to the E.R. late last night because the constipation was starting to make me nauseous and I had a migraine. I literally could not fit anything more in my belly and threw up because of the amount of stool. Long story short, after a long wait and staying in the hospital overnight, the doctor said I was backed up and prescribed this laxative. By 12 p.m., five hours after I left, I felt the effects. I was on the toilet for an hour squirting liquid out of my butt, thinking I was all done, but nope. By 3, I was running again. I still feel it gurgling in my intestines and the popping of gas. I feel bloated, and my butt and crotch are very raw (it just squirts everywhere). Expect this to last more than 12 hours, or maybe 24 hours for it to stop the bloating and gurgling. It’s 1 a.m. (took it at 7 a.m.) and I finally feel a little bit better. Don’t take the whole bottle unless the doctor says so. Also, stay hydrated with lots of electrolytes."

For Constipation "It's been 5 hours, and nothing but nausea for me. Used 1 time before, and it worked within an hour. Drank it at 10 a.m. so I wouldn't be up all night. Hoping laughter is the best medicine. Some reviews are comedy gold."

For Constipation "The absolute only thing that works when I am severely constipated. Always makes me nauseous drinking it (cherry is the best tasting, in my opinion) but is worth it!"
