A member asked:
I get severely constipated if i do not take a heaped teaspoon of magnesium citrate everyday and also abdominal pain after eating wheat. am i allergic?

No: You need more fiber in the diet and more exercise to get your bowel moving. Although constipation can rarely be a sign of milk allergy in a young child, you are no longer one.
