Since 2006, I have suffered from constipation due to heavy narcotic intake. I had a four level lumbar fusion which left me in more pain than prior to surgery.

Since 2006, I have suffered from constipation due to heavy narcotic intake. I had a four level lumbar fusion which left me in more pain than prior to surgery. Stool softners, colace, exlax and duculax provided little relief to me. My mother-in-law suggested that I take magnesium. As always, I spoke with my doctor about this and he told me that it may help me, not only with this condition, but my bone density is poor as well (especially for a 46 year old male). I started taking 500mg magnesium three times daily, and after 4 to 5 days, I'm having bowel movements nearly every day, whereas before, I was lucky to go twice a week, and then after taking stool softners and 3 duculax, which cramped me badly. I'm so glad, after nearly four years, to find relief for my problem. I would recommend that if you are having this problem due to narcotics, talk to your doctor about this excellent treatment.

Because of my diabetes meds, I have had terrible constipation. I take 2,000 to 3,000 perday and it gives me great relief. Also, I noticed that my foot neuropathy has decreased. My daughter awakened me to this because she is an OB nurse. They give to new mothers to prevent straining after giving birth. I am forever grateful.

After taking these supplements for 6 days, I am now on my 5th day of no bowel movements. This has made my constipation worse so far.
