Constipation from meds

I take 300 mg of Magnesium daily, plus the one cap of Miralax. Not sure how much the Magnesium helps, however I have been instructed to stop all supplements next week for 7 days in prep for an outpatient surgery. Sigh. Don’t want to stop the magnesium, but it works as a blood thinner, from I’ve read. I had no idea.

I started with 400 mg Magnesium and the Senna 3 times a day. After about 2 days I realized that was too much for me. Before this, I did the Miralax, Dulcolax, psyllium husks, big salads, coffee, enemas, suppositories, exlax...nothing worked consistently. For me, I am now a happy pooper!!

Senna Tea ( Smooth Move) works for me first thing in the morning if I dont go for two days.
