I took 60 mg of milk of mag and my stomache is hurting and im full of gas is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) is a laxative that increased intestinal motility and stool volume. This can result in cramps and gas sometimes. Relax and once your bowels move you will feel better. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
