Hi Bobby, I had terrible blockage and, even tho I took Miralax, the most that came thru is called "ribbon". Because of the blockage, these are thin like that might get thru.

I found an article on the internet that is of great help. The article mentioned constipation from narcotics is not the same that other people not on narcotics have so it has to be treated differently. First, was to break thru the blockage and that is to take a10 oz bottle of Magnesium Citrate. I got the Crape flavor. Taste is not the greatest; but you need to drink all of it. Then start dosing with Phillips of Magnesia - 2tbls. evening and 2 tbls. a.m. From then on take the Phillips 2 tbls. daily (whatever time is best for you) I frequentily take late a.m, and can help during evening. If I start to feel some blockage, I go back to taking the 2 tbls. a.m. and p.m.

Should the blockage occur again, you will need to take another Magnesium Citrate. I had to take that over a period of a few days twice to get things working. Did the lemon flavor; didn't like at all; but neither taset great; but need to be done. I thought there might be something worse going on as well. The blockage was sooooo bad. Now every day, faithfully use the Phillips. I do keep a bottle of the Magnesium Citrate in the cabinet should I need it agaiin. Unblievable what these meds can do. I even had some blood mixed during the first few days after using the Citrate because things were getting unstuck. The blood was only temporary. (other then my hemmorids; but you know the difference)

Good luck. Tho it is upsetting, things will come out in the end (punn intended).

A few months ago, my brother was so blocked up, he had to go to the ER where they broke up with gloved hand. I did not want to do that, so like it or not, I drank the Magnesium Citrate.

Bobby, forgot to mention, drinking at least 8 oz. of water after taking the Phillips is a must.
