Milk of Magnesia is often used as a facial primer because it has de-greasing properties and makes the skin matte. As a basic solution (10.5 pH), Milk of Magnesia can also be used as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, or anti-viral (or so I've read). But can the Herpes Simplex Virus be spread from person to person through the use of Milk of Magnesia, as in, one person applies it to her face and then another person, sharing the solution, applying it to her face shorty afterward?
I cannot produce a bowel movement unless I take at least 3 of the dose cups of Milk of Magnesia every day. Then I am terribly nauseous and start to swell until I finally have a bowel movement. I was told by my Gast. that I have a long *** colon and that I may have to consider colon reduction. I have had to take laxatives since a teenager, I am now 44 and was told today that my cat-scan showed liver spots which may be considered a "fatty liver". Any suggestions?
Fiber and kiwi fruit it's a natural laxative. Also drink nothing but water at least 64ozs a day it will help so much. Prune juice is also a good source it's a little funky but so is the milk of magnesium. It's better to try the natural route first. And exercise. Walking really works it down. I know the constipation feeling and those are the things I did and they really helped. I truly believe it was more so on upping my water intake.
Is it safe to take milk of magnesia everyday? It seems like I can't go without it.
Ugh I'm trying my best to eat fiber rich food and stay away from 'clogging' type foods. I don't exercise enough but this is ridiculous! 12wks along and ever since I started prenatal vitamins it seems my problems started. I literally only go once a wk and it's w help of milk magnesia. My position is fairly active and I am so uncomfortable and look 6mths along. Should I stop prenatal vitamins???
You can have the liquid kind, maybe you're doctor told you different but I got a list of meds that are ok and milk of magnesia is on there.
Drink lots of water and eat fiber rich foods (fruits and vegetables work great for me but there's plenty of fiber rich foods). If you still can't go, metamucil, colace, and milk of magnesia are safe to take while pregnant.
Is Milk of magnesia at 35 weeks ok? I've tried drinking more water, eating fiber, and eating fruits and veggies. I'm dying over here Lol tmi but for reals..
I doubt that the headaches have any connection to the medications. If by magnesia, you mean milk of magnesia, then it is safe to take either miralax or milk of magnesia for long periods of time (like years) as long as you are seeing a doctor while doing this. You shouldn't take these medications for more than a week as doubleaaaron says, if you are not seeing a doctor. If you are seeing a doctor then it is safe.
Im so backed up its not even funny. I haven't pooped for 4 days n I can't eat or I throw up. I feel it has nowhere to go. I've had milk of magnesia and a collace and prune juice n tonnnnnns of water n NOTHING! HELP! wat else can I do?
The only 2 things that help me is to get a very hot bath to calm the stomach and milk of magnesia. For some reason, I got very blocked up every couple weeks and get to the point where I NEED milk of magnesia. My stomach is always rock hard. I dont know what to do... I dont have money to go to a doctor. I have no insurance. There are no clinics around and our state medical assistance is at an all time high waiting list....
