A member asked:
Should i be concerned if after taking a dose of epsom salts, i do not have a bowel movement, and still have acid indigestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Try this. Take some milk of magnesia- an antacid and laxative at the same time & drink more water. Also try peptobismol & drink more water. It should resolve your problem. Avoid drinking coffee, soda, alcohol, eating spicy foods to minimize heartburn. Take care!
