Steve, yes, it's the same problem. I was using mag citrate on my own for a while....turned to a good GP who told me no more metamucil...that I just wring the water out of it...and solely Colace in the morning, Milk of Mag evening, and if doesn't work more after breakfast and if THAT doesn't work, cal citrate again. Oh, and Mylanta in between when my stomach hurts. But I just can't do that, after 10 days of it. Never did take all that Milk of Magnesia, but what I took plus Mylanta... Just can't do it anymore. My innards feel awful awful, a good thing epithelium grows fast. I think lack of bile instead of too much HCL in my stomach could be part of why my system won't wake up, but maybe more NON-soluble fibre (avocados, lots of fruit, artichokes, etc.) oh PLUS spicy oil like mayonnaise will get the bile going, and the fiber motility too. My system has felt like heavy/dead, and hummus...mustard....artichoke dip...spiced up mayo made out of olive oil....THESE got my stomach calmed down, and the rest rumbling...so I seem the opposite of normal people. But what works, works...and I can't take all those elements and chemicals anymore...!
