A member asked:
I took 4 super colon cleanse pills, which are high in fiber. i also took 4 caps of polyethylene glycol 3350 powder laxative. did i do any damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Better to take magnesium glycinate or citrates instead as a daily supplement to help soften stool. Titrate to stool consistency and adjust accordingly. Increase dose if still constipated and decrease if too loose.
