Can i take milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) and metamucil together? (in the same time period) is it safe? i'm having bowel spams and stomach cramping.

Yes, you may: Metamucil is a bulk laxative. This improves the formation of your stool, so it moves more effeciently and minimizes the risk of diverticular disease. Milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) is a laxative, which will chemically enhance the motility of your gut. Bulk laxatives may be taken daily, but only as directed. More is not better. Mom should be used only on occasion, as directed. Good luck.
