A member asked:
Magnesium citrate for severe constipation after appendix removal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Magnesium citrate delivers a bolus of magnesium to the intestines that will result in diarrhea within 12 hours. Unfortunately it will also result in hypotonic bowels for at least 24 hours after administration. Treat the root cause of the constipation and try not to rely on laxatives.
