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 I am writing this review right after I finished passing my constipation. This product works great I was clogged up for about three days. If you think this product will relieve you of all your pain then you are sorely mistaken. It merely softens the stool helping you to relieve it. It's like the robin to your butt, it's a lot of help but it's still just a sidekick to your batman. The only reason I didn't give this a full ten was because instead of just drinking one and being over with it I needed two full bottles of this. Overall a fine product but it tastes s terrible, nauseatingly terrible. I'll start eating better and exercising more, pizza and Internet are not worth this kind of pain.

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!
