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?

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.

Try it, it can't hurt you right?

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
