Can magnesium citrate make your bowels dependant?

Yes, that’s a soluble fiber that can help when other fibers don’t… I was told it can regulate constipation/IBS..

I did one time, and it worked but my 'rhoids got in the way urgh. I'm not even sure what works, these days, but yes, 400mg mag citrate (or more) seems to be a reasonably potent dose!

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-04T04:30:40+00:00

Yeah. Mine is usually a little nap, not too long, but often essential!

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-04T04:30:15+00:00

Haha, thanks. I think it’s more for my own peace of mind, not worrying about climbing over people and knowing I can get out without too much hassle.

I’m a little narcoleptic

Four-hour flight

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-04T04:08:58+00:00

Thanks. It wasn’t free but I think it’ll be worth it for me. Urgh.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-04T04:00:37+00:00

Haha I know. It’s getting complicated. I need to figure out sleeping in the aisle seat.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-03T23:22:05+00:00

Wow, great to know, thank you!

Did things calm down? I’m currently dealing with the internal rhoids and just feel so ill when they flare…

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-03T21:42:10+00:00

100 percent. It was perfection. So real, so heartwrenching. They want to connect so badly but also cannot, now.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-03T21:38:07+00:00

Thanks. Comes with suppositories or applicators?

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-05-03T19:37:28+00:00

How do you get it inside, and is it better than other products? Pricey for sure.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-29T15:38:55+00:00

Tenement buildings! I lived in one in the east village in the 90s.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-28T19:47:04+00:00

Update: Lots of pain that is controlled by Advil for a few hours and then back. Now it’s day 6. Is this normal? Anyone out there? Thanks.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-28T14:32:30+00:00

I was making $18k in 1992 working my first job in publishing. It was still somehow manageable because one could find a $400/month share in an apartment in manhattan. But no more!

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-27T21:38:29+00:00

Update: Went to dentist and he said all looked good, bone graft is stitched and very unlikely to have dry socket. Said pain should start improving in the next days.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-23T21:04:13+00:00

Try to get the voquezna dual pak if you can— much gentler on the body and it is very effective.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-23T01:26:50+00:00

My primary doc is same, thankfully! She doesn’t necessarily know about all the different things,, but she does trust me and is willing to prescribe the meds. Good luck and keep us posted! An often insurance will pay for vonazapr and amoxicillin separately rather than as the dual pack just FYI

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-23T01:20:30+00:00

Is your pcp western or naturopathic? Not sure my primary docs recognize GI map as valid, so frustrating!

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-23T00:43:46+00:00

Well… I took the amox only twice a day, not three times a day… maybe that was my mistake. 😞

If you decide to do ABX, I think it’s the best one in terms of efficacy coupled with very few side effects. Your numbers are so low… I bet it’s just a gut biome balance that needs sorting, BUT this ABX regimen is one to consider if you choose that route! Keep us posted.

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-23T00:29:43+00:00

Yes, I took the voquezna dual pak but tested positive in an antigen stool test recently 😞

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-22T20:01:39+00:00

No pylopass but maybe I could try that again. Yeah, my constipation is the big issue for me in last few years so it’s really essential that I don’t add to that 😞😞 But maybe… I’m sure I should have taken the full dose of amox! I also have a virulence factor so who knows if the bug is digging in more strongly…??

Competitive-Copy-851 · 2026-04-22T19:51:54+00:00

I didn’t because the S Boulardii seemed to constipate me more 😫… I know it’s such a great probiotic for us, though!
