I wish the magnesium supplement worked for me. I take 300 mg per day, but still must do Metamucil and Miralax in order to go. Now….if I take a dose of Milk of Magnesium, I will go. Hmmm….so, idk.
An idea, balance you potassium, sodium and magnesium (electrolytes) If you have a redundant colon maybe even take the combo once in the night too. A quart of warm water first thing in the morning and even a cup of coffee might help if you want to go sans meds? Good luck
For the past 10 years, I have had severe constipation problems. I tried many medicines, and I have gone through 3 times endoscopy but discovered nothing. From 2015 till now my constipation problem couldn't be solved. To make it worse now I'm having multiple internal haemorrhoids due to this constipation. I don't know why I'm having this constipation problem.Many people suggested many things like changing diets, taking a lot of fibre intake, reducing stress, quit smoking. I burp a lot and do have acid reflux as well but now it is getting better. What is the best solution for my constipation?

This is me again, I heartily recommend lifestyle changes with organic good whole food and breathing clean non tobacco air. Our bodies are working with lots of stressors and environmental things. Have you tried a quart of warm water in the morning and a cup of coffee? I don't care for the laxatives because they all say don't take beyond a week and may unbalance our bodies too. Good luck

I have just gotten my Linzess filled. Waiting on free day to stay home and take it. So, I wasn’t planning on taking it AND my Miralax. My regular routine is Miralax and Metamucil right before dinner. I’m weary of it though. I’d like to be able to just take a pill.

Aside from all the supplements or meds that may help, exercise is highly important. Walking daily can help with slow motility. If you don’t exercise, start small - start with 15 minutes for a few days and work your way up to 30-60 minutes. Listen to music while you walk or an podcast which helps the time go by or have a friend join you. And be sure to hydrate.

My blood tests repeatedly show that I have slightly low sodium. Not sure why. Doctors never comment on it. Potassium is normal.
My newest success is Linzess 290 in AM with Miralax. Wait 30 min for Linzess to work. Eat them Miralax again. Do miralax after each meal.

1 ReactionI exercise 5-6 days a week doing cardio and strength training. I do walking, stairstepper and elliptical. I’m doing all I can. It’s frustrating.
