Sitting on the toilet for eternity to get a few rabbit pellets and this constant urge to go is driving me up the wall. Has anyone ever tried magnesium citrate pills with success?

i've never heard of it in pill form. i'm wondering about this too, now.

Yes, I take magnesium citrate and it seems to help keep me regular. I take 800 mg each day. 400 two hours after breakfast (and two hours before lunch) and 400 at bedtime.

Different fibers are supposed to be very helpful as well. The thing I've found that works the best for me is collard greens of all things. I never used to care for them but now that I know how to make them, I really enjoy them. Hope you find something that works for you. :)

I took Magnesium something (don't know if it was citrate) for my spascity in my legs, but found that it kept me regular which was a pleasant side affect. I never experienced any relief in my legs from Magnesium, but kept taking it for keeping my bowels regular. I ran out and never purchased any more. Something that I should do. Try it, it can't hurt you right?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
