If you have the urge but can't move your bowels,,work from below by inserting a dulcolax rectal suppository or fleets enema. If you have no urge repeat the mag citrate, but if you're experiencing abdominal pains,bloating,nausea or vomiting, go to the hospital emergency room for prompt evaluation & care. You may be impacted &require manual disimpaction. To avoid constipation ,drink fluids,eat fiber

Agree with Dr. Colantino. You could trying giving yourself fleet's enema. Yor the long term you may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. You may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
