Thanks Janelle - your timing is great, I need to help my Dad with catheter and lack of fluid based constipation and will try one of these answers, hope all is well.
You seem to have a lot of answers. I just don’t know what the questions are. I have Hashimoto’s therefore hypothyroid, I was on will be Wellbutrin for 10 years, I have since tapered off. What about opiate induced constipation? I’ve been on the fentanyl patch and oxycodone for about 10 years for chronic pain. I have anemia. I have sleep apnea and insomnia. I have depression marked by zero motivation. I’m not sure which of these treatments to try first? Help
I've been using magnesium citrate for months now but initally not for constipation but because I simply don't have enough foods I can eat to get enough mag / pot every day so I supplement. A few months later now I have constipation all the time. About the only time I go is right after taking the magnesium now. Could I have become dependent on it? How do I break this cycle and what other forms of magnesium are good to take daily?
I’m bipolar. When I’m high everything works. When I’m depressed aside of being tired and no motivation, I am also constipated and have regular headaches…?im wondering if this could be partly due to inflammation? Will all magnesiums help with constipation or just citrate? I just started taking mag glycinate? Should I switch over to citrate?
