For Constipation "I took Milk of Magnesia at around 10 p.m. after being constipated for about four days. I drank half the bottle. At four o'clock in the morning, I woke up to terrible cramps. I sat in the bathroom for almost thirty minutes until I got a solid stool. Then I spent the next four to five hours dealing with violent diarrhea."

For Constipation "If you want this medicine to be effective, drink plenty of water after taking it. All magnesium does is draw water into the bowel, so the more you drink, the faster and looser the stool will come. :)"

For Constipation "I would never use this again. It says no cramping. I got horrible cramps and diarrhea and burning in my rectum. Terrible experience."

For Constipation "I had problems with bowel movements for about 3 days and took this medication. I took it around 12 pm, and the effects kicked in at 3. It worked great, but be aware! You may experience diarrhea!"
