Comparing Docusate vs Magnesium Citrate

For Constipation My wife who has Alzheimer's is trying this but is experiencing cramps at night and I suspect it is from this pill. It is softening the bowel motion but the cramping is a bit much, so will try something else.

For Constipation Because of the side effects of the meds I take to address my arthritic lumbar and cervical spine and the resulting chronic back and sciatic pain, I would be severely chronically constipated were it not for daily ingestion of: 1. a dissolvable fiber supplement 2. VERY large doses of docusate sodium 3. senna laxative Any one of the above alone was not sufficient. So I only rate this med a 6.

For Constipation Mud City. Mudagra Falls. Goin down to mud town! Cherry flavor was sour but took me down the Muddissippi River.

For Constipation I recently had a colonoscopy procedure, and afterwards, I didn't have a bowel movement for 4 days. I tried taking Miralax, and glycerine suppositories, and drinking 100 oz of water a day, but nothing worked! I went to the doctor and was told that my colon was now moving "sluggishly" and to get some magnesium citrate. I took it yesterday morning at 8am with a huge glass of water, followed by Gatorade, and by 12:30pm I was on the toilet going like a champ! I even cheered because I was that happy! But even extreme happiness has a down side! At 9:30pm last night, I was still going to the bathroom! Needless to say that, with my very sore bottom, I was no longer in a cheering mood. And today I am EXTREMELY gassy and bloated! But not constipated!
