Hey guys I have had a problem with constipation my whole life, and since starting the LC WOL it has gotten even worse (if i go once a week i am lucky). I eat plenty of leafy greens and drink lots of water, i have tried fibers and bulk laxative pills, even overdosing on malitol with little result. The only thing working for me now is stimulant laxatives which i am trying desprately to get off of. After reading all of your helpful suggestions here i have just invested in some magnesium supplements as i have not tried them yet. I bought Healthy Ideas natural Magnesium, 250 mg each tablet. Ingredients are Mg oxide, Ca carbonate, citric acid, and some other stuff. Is this the kind of thing you guys were suggesting? Should i take it with food or be itself? Is the pure Mg ok or should i take a Mg/Ca/Zn combo pill? I took 250 mg last night and 250 mg this morning and am still waiting. Thanks for any and all advice. I am a phone call away from my doctor's office.
