Hi everyone, I'm new here and have a question.I took some milk of magnesia last night to help with my constipation. It's been about 12 hours since I took the 2 tablespoon dose (of Phillips) and it's completely not working. It gave me some gas, made my bloating a little worse, but no bowel movement. I don't really even have the urge to go at all. It's just gas now.Does Phillips really work? Should I be taking a higher dose or maybe magnesium supplements instead of the liquid? Has anyone else had zero results with Phillips? Ugh, it's frustrating.
Milk of Magnesia, how well does it work?

I've always had success with it before. Make sure you drink a lot of water though as that is what make it work.

For Milk of magnesia to work as a laxative, you must take 4 teaspoons, not 2, Two will work like malox for gas or acid...four does work, fill the plastic cup up to the top...jada
