A member asked:

Would magnesium citrate work if you have a fecal impaction

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes, it could.: It attracts water into the colon and stimulates bowel motility. It would work within 30m-8hrs if it's going to work.

Fecal impaction: It can sometimes work but there is also the possibility that you might need to be manually disimpacted.
