Hi, im 29yr old man and i have had constant constipation for 6 months now. Ive tried many therapies and only milk of magnesium works 2tbsp twice a day and I can only go liquid form. List my urge to go to. When milk of mag doesnt work u need to do a mag cit clon cleanse. I have abdominal cramping, bloat, twinges, fluid pool build in lower right abdomen and sometimes left. Burping often and all kinds of noises. Sometimes mucus. I just had a colonoscopy, fair prep but adequit g.i. says he had good visual through out after suction and saw nothing bad. Now im having a barium xray and ultrasound tomorrow. IM AFRAID IM GONA DIE FROM KIDNEY FAILURE FROM THE MAGNESIUM EVERYDAY before they find root cause. Please reply! Thank you.

    I would say eat less portions but at closer intervals... don't eat right before sleeping at night.... walk everywhere whenever you can, and running or playing a sport that requires it is better.... your system is now dependent on bowel movement inducers.... you have to get off it, and that means water, high fiber, and lots of vigorous full body exercises such as walking, cycling or running..... your system will slowly learn to have movements on its own again....

      Ive tried all of that stuff. Thx though. I have a consult with a colorectal surgeon. He said resection is the most successful solution.

    Hi I suffer myself from time to time with bouts of constipation and other IBS type symtoms and have recently tried prune juice for a recent episode and had results fairly quickly I only drank about 150ml mixed with same amount water for good measure I added about 20ml of calfig within an hour I was on the toilet the relief was tremendous. It lasted on and off for a few hours but got the best nights sleep for ages and woke up  hungry. as its all natural the worst that can happen is the trots. I am going to try introducing a small amount of prune juice as part of a daily routine.

    Hi! I just was reading all of the problems you have had due to your constipation. I have been on lactulose ( 45 ml) for about 2 years now) and I have stage 4 breast cancer and lots of other health issues. I wanted to know how you are doing, since the last post I saw from you, you were going to go see a motility specialist, and I wanted to know if you had a disection of your colon, or what ended up happening. I'm having a hard time now, as my lactulose is giving me extreme cramping, burning pains where I end up in the hospital. I was able to have a lactulose enema, and hardly anything came out. The lactulose that I used to drink caused no problems at all, but I had surgery, ( 2 ureteral stents placed in my kidneys and ureters, that go into my bladder) and ever since my surgery , I am not able to tolerate the lactulose. I hope you are doing ok. Please let me know where you are in your process now, and if things are any better. I felt so bad for you, as I was following the discussion whee you ended up in the hospital. Well, the same thing happend to me when I tried my lactulose again. They did say I am full of stool, all the way up to my ascending colon, and I'm afraid of what will happen next. Thank you for your reply, and I hope things are better for you now. Take care, Juni
