A member asked:
So backed up with only pebble stool. stomach pain & gas, need relief now. should i take miralax (polyethylene glycol) or mag cit 2 clean out now? need fast relief.

Constipation: I would recommend taking miralax (polyethylene glycol) first and even trying an enema too to "get things going" from below and above. If this does not work, and you have no heart problems, then you can take Mag citrate.
