Magnesium or mag citrate for chronic constipation?

heyjoe415, I have found that adding 5 Metamucil gummies with the Miralax actually makes a difference, a bit more often, not perfect by any measure, but it helps. I still take the Trulance (Linzess), but I don't think it's really very effective, but when our 💩💩is as bad as it is for all of us, you take anything. For me, the gummies (5 evening's) are definitely better than the powder. The powder bloats me up SOOOO bad, I can't even breathe deeply or walk without feeling like I need to support my stomach with my hands. ShelleyW

Thank you for the kind suggestion Shelley. I'll try that! And yeah, I've avoided Metamucil because of the bloating. Miralax is enough to take with water.

I have tried Linzess with no change. I take Motegrity now which is supposed to help with motility. I don't get things moving until I take some Dulcolax. I don't like to have to do that. It is a little more gentle than mag citrate, but not much. With CIC, it's kind or all or nothing.

Thanks again Shelley! Joe
