After trying a number of other treatments for constipation after surgery, this is the only thing to work for me. I wish I had known about it after my C section 7 years ago. Other than the mild stomache cramps this was a very effective. I used two half doses one in the pm and the other the next morning.

I took milk of magnesia for constipation that was not responding to stool softeners and fiber. It did not work the first day so I waited 24 hrs and took a full dose of 4 Tbs. It helped me go to the bathroom (diarrhea) but brought some unpleasant side effects. Sour stomach, nausea, gas/bloating, and vomiting. I do not recommend taking this because I feel it is too harsh.

I have had better experiences with Smooth Move herbal tea for serious constipation.

I recommend the cherry flavor since the mint is chalky tasting. personally, i find that a larger dose is more predictable as to when you can expect it to work-about 2 to 3 hours for me. the downside is frequently going to the bathroom for a few hours once it begins. it's very gentle,no cramps and is strong. it's my first choice.

I use milk of magnesia on my face as a way to help manage blackheads. It doesn't necessarily get rid of acne, but it helps keep it under control. My mom read about it somewhere and got it for me about four or five months ago, and I have been using it ever since.

My mom read about it somewhere and got it for me about four or five months ago, and I have been using it ever since.

Hope this can be of some assistance to someone!
