I would never have a bowel movement ever if I didnt' use Milk of Magnesia. Nobody listens to me ever. I am on alot of opiates for a condition I have and that can cause part of it, but I literally can't go at all without the Magnesium every three days. I wanted to see how long I could go to see if I would eventually go and into the 7th day I knew I better take care of things. Can you help and what can I do. IT makes it hard to travel and everything else in my life.
