"I've had chronic constipation all my life, and Miralax wasn't cutting it for me anymore. Nothing else was working either (magnesium citrate, enema, double the Miralax, senna tea kind of worked, though), and I was bloated on and off for two months. I finally decided to go to the store and buy a bottle of Dulcolax liquid (magnesium hydroxide) to see if it would get things moving better. Oh boy! Hard stool shot out first, and then came the liquid, nonstop. I was on the toilet for almost 2 hours, making sure it was done. I'm not even sure if it's done yet at this point, but I'm hoping so. Didn't cause me much cramps, just gave me the intense urge to go 2 hours after taking it. This is definitely going to be something I'm keeping in my medicine cabinet for times like these."
