I had to stop the mag. citrate and just use Miralax and prunes as I was having 2 BM's per day.

Trying to find the right dose for mag citrate is like finding the right amount of C4 explosive to use....... It works alright, but for me at least results in diarrhea. I have found a pill form and I'm gonna try that.

I do use Miralax nightly but need Dulcolax bisacodyl every other day - it's called "gush and push". I know, TMI. I don't like using the stimulant laxative that often and know my GI doc would not approve.

As for exercise, I'm in the gym 6 days a week. I used to run marathons, and running always kick started peristaltic motion. I was never constipated, quite the opposite. I find rowing helps now. It gets my knees up above my waist and that seems to help.
