I take Milk of Magnesia as well. Swig at night and I have no problems.(except my stomach makes the most unusual sllurping sounds when I lay down-a little embarassing.

me 2 mary...no cramps, but it is like peeing out of your rectum when you have a bm. Doesn't bother me though. Better than not going for 2 weeks.

can u take one of those fiber powders in water does that work also? cause i lack fiber in this diet??

some fiber supplements can cause people to flare. Look for Philips capsules for the milk of mag to take by pill. The liquid works much better though

Senakot tablets work well for me, no flare-ups, and they are very gentle but they work.

I take Miralax every day and it makes me regular. I get it by prescription but I saw an ad where it is over the counter now.

I use Miralax powder. It used to be by prescription only but it is now sold OTC. I read about it here.....I think Sandy RN had a post about it. I tried it and it works great for me. I have not been constipated since I started using it.
