For Constipation "Please do not take a full bottle of magnesium citrate, it will literally kick in slowly, but when it does, it's very hard to control your bowel motions (BM). When I first took it, I was vomiting 10 to 20 minutes after taking it, vomiting for a good 20 minutes to a half an hour. Do not take if you are a heavy sleeper or you sleep with a partner. I'm not ready to wake up my fiancé because of this. My booty is so sore. I've been crying on the toilet for a good hour now. I woke up at 4:00 am, and now it's 4:46 am. Please protect yourself. I'd rather be constipated."

For Constipation "I was plugged up really bad for almost a week, and 3 days I was taking Ex-Lax, Dulcolax, and Miralax, and I couldn't get anything out. So I tried the cherry flavor, pretty good actually. Well, I chugged it at 7, stayed up till 1, had a little farting, so I said, hey, I'll go to bed and see what happens in the morning. Sure enough, I woke up at 8, and here she came, lol. And yes, it still hurt, but I was so glad when I was finally able to pass the plug. Now it's 8 pm, and I'm on my 6th BM. It's a great product, will use it next time those dumb pain pills get to me!"

For Constipation "I've had to take antibiotics for my wisdom teeth and didn't have a bowel motion for 5 days. My stomach was so bloated, my butt was hurting from pushing and nothing was coming out. It was hurting so much that I couldn't sit down. I took half the bottle and drank 40 oz of water. It worked 2 hours after I took my last 30 ml of the product. I took it 30 ml at a time every half hour with lots of water, hoping it would relieve me and I would have drunk half the bottle. The taste was horrid. The stool that was stuck was a hard lump, I had to push again and it hurt, but it was passing at a normal-ish rate. And then it was a river of poop. What a relief."

For Constipation "I’m lactose intolerant and love cheese, so you’d think I’d be used to unpleasant bathroom visits. But I met a whole new caliber of pain after drinking an entire bottle of this stuff. Short answer: it works. Detailed answer: I’ve been pissing out my butt for over 24 hours. Everywhere I read said it lasted roughly 6-10 hours. Yeah, that’s a lie. I’ve been pooping watery demons every 20 minutes like clockwork ever since I took this stuff yesterday morning. Currently holding down the fort at work because the walls are thin and I wouldn’t wish this kind of secondhand smell on even my worst enemy. On the bright side, I’ve expelled everything I ate today, yesterday, and the week before, managing to lose that stubborn weight I gained from Valentine’s Day. So take it from someone who’s still in active duty; don’t drink this magic poop potion unless you’ve got a weekend of zero responsibility."

For Constipation "So I've been backed up for a good 2 weeks now. I finally went to the doctor yesterday after trying home remedies, laxatives from the store, etc. My pain had been horrible. I've called out of work the past two days. I can barely move. They did an X-ray, and I'm full of gas pockets, not stool or poop, just gas. They recommended me 3 bottles of this liquid magnesium citrate, 1 a day for the next 3 days. I did one last night, yes, I've pooped just watery, nothing normal, but I'm still in pain. So I sent my mom to the store today for Gas-X, lemons, and chamomile tea. I'm still in pain, so I'm about to drink another bottle of this. Can anyone relate? Should I go back to the doctor? Is this stuff gonna help the gas pockets? I just want to be over this."

For Constipation "So I hadn’t had a bowel movement in almost a week. I tried this before, and it worked! So I decided to go ahead and make some hot tea and put some in the cup and thought maybe that would work, considering that’s what the salesman told me to do. Well, after about an hour, I told my dad that I wasn’t feeling anything, so he read the back of the bottle. This is where it gets fun. 1:30 pm, he told me to drink the whole bottle, so trusting my parent, I did. Around 5 pm, I started going!! After the 10th poop, I was feeling sore, so I decided to take a bath with Epsom salts, hoping that would help. NO! Down there went numb, and I pooped in the bathtub right when I started to get comfortable. I didn’t know until I looked down, so I had to take a shower to get cleaned up. Well, it’s now 10:30 pm, and I have had and still have the worst fiery squirts I’ve ever experienced! I’m stealing my son’s Desitin and using baby wipes to help soothe it! When I tell you it feels like lava, I'm not kidding!"

For Constipation "I’m an idiot. I’ve had constipation for a few months, and this time I hadn’t squeezed out anything larger than a marble in the last 8 days. I was in pain and decided I had enough. But grave mistakes were made. First, timing. I took it at 8:30 pm, and now I write to you at 5:45 am after pooping the entire night. Second, expect the unexpected. I was not mentally prepared for the pain my butthole would experience. Third, be prepared for war. Soft toilet paper, butt wipes, Tucks pads. A bottle of water, phone, book. Safety companion, in my case, my poor dog has been by my side the entire night. I assume he’s making sure I don’t die. Fourth and lastly, don’t drink the whole bottle. I did 3/4, and nothing happened in an hour, so I downed the rest. Don’t be like me. Please. I wish you well in your battle, and may the odds be in your butthole’s favor."

For Constipation "I have suffered from hard, dry, and painful bowel movements for a few months, but this episode was more painful. I had used a suppository the previous afternoon and spent about 5 hours trying for a splashdown, from 7:00 AM until afternoon, on the toilet, removing chunks as they appeared. But this day, every time I got up to leave, another movement began with lots of pain, and it was back to keep trying. No luck, so I called my doctor. I got a nurse that told me to go get a magnesium citrate at any store, take MC, and if I do not have a bowel movement by tomorrow, go to the clinic. My problem was, as I was glued to the bathroom, I called my son, and he went and found the MC in town, and I drank the whole 10 oz, with 8 oz of water. 1.5 hours later, I felt a great surge, and boy, the dam broke, the poop shoot was cleared for operation, and has been cleaning my colon ever since, still is 22 hours later. Messy but worked, I hope it's about done."

For Constipation "Took 3/4 of a bottle at 2 pm. By 6 pm, I finally crapped, although it was still painful, it came out. Let me tell you, it’s the last solid thing I saw for hours! It definitely works, but there’s a price afterwards! All night, I crapped out all the food I ate and everything before I ate it!"

For Constipation "I took 3 Dulcolax and a whole bottle of citrate at 1:30. It is 11:21. I am raw, and it's painful, but it worked. I am preparing for an X-ray."

For Constipation "It worked as a laxative, but it wasn’t worth the pain of staying up all night, pooping green molten lava every 10 minutes. Make sure to drink plenty of water with this bad boy."
