For Constipation "Y'all... was having some discomfort from constipation and bloating. My stomach just generally felt horrible. Wanted quick relief, so I took 4 tbs of MoM. Yes, you read that right, FOUR TABLESPOONS! I have been off and on the toilet for the last hour and realize now I took too much! Will definitely use again in a much lower dosage."

For Constipation "I was not feeling well and had stomach pain. I went ahead and took Pepto-Bismol, and it made me feel worse. Within minutes, my pain became stronger, I felt bloated and discomfort. After a few hours in pain, I went to the market and purchased MOM. Within one hour of taking it with a glass of water, it worked. The results were AMAZING! Everything was gone, and I felt very clean!"

For Constipation "I have had chronic constipation for over a year now. I have tried everything! Miralax, Dulcolax, Tums, magnesium citrate, psyllium husk pills, and even prescription meds like Trulance and Linzess! None of them compare to MOM. I was feeling so bloated and backed up, my tummy looked 6 months pregnant. I was using saline enemas every other day, which I knew was not a great idea, but it was the only way to relieve the pain. I went to CVS to get more but saw MOM on the shelf and decided, what the heck? Took the appropriate dosage before bed, and sure enough, first thing in the A.M., it all came out. I was taking multiple trips that morning. Then, after each meal for the day, I would also find myself in the bathroom. Definitely would recommend this, as my constipation is probably one of the worst out there, but it worked for me."

For Constipation "I have motility issues (i.e., idiopathic constipation) and Milk of Magnesia works, but causes severe bloating for me. For anyone with this issue, Dulcolax is enterically coated, so no bloating. But the urge to 'go' comes on very, very suddenly."
