A member asked:
I took milk of magnesia this morning for constipation and the side effect has been diarrhea. how long should i expect the side effect to last, and wou?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A day or so: If the diarrhea is from taking milk of magnesia, it should be over in a day or so. If it lasts longer, then there may be some other issue at work. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.
