A member asked:
I gave my son 1 oz magnesium citrate w/6oz liquid @ 8:30 am; another 1 oz @ 2:30. he still hasn't pooped. what do you suggest?

How old is he?: It matters if he is 3 or 10. How many days since he last pooped? I hesitate to give you exact number of amount not knowing his age. But if he could drink 6 oz and it has been 2 days since he pooped, I would be tempted to give him --1 time--- half a bottle of Magnesium Citrate-- and wait half a day for him to go, and in the meantime only give him clear liquids until he has results.
