I haven't tried it but I know many people take magnesium for it's laxative effect. Apparently, magnesium oxide has the most laxative effect.
I try to deal with it naturally. I have found that canned pears help me the most. I am not sure why but it works for me. |

I can vouch for both canned pears and magnesium. I have not had the neurological
constipation for a long long time, because I take magnesium, not the laxative form, but as a supplement. A neurologist told me to take it for spasm and jerks many years ago when I could not tolerate Baclofen or the other usual one. I have to take about 900-1000 to keep spasm and jerks in line, and a side effect is no more constipation. i read here on the MS forum about pears many years ago, and I gave them daily to my husband, who was wheelchair bound and likely to get constipated. It worked for him too. On that rare occasion when I myself get constipated (once a year or so) I use canned pears. When I was younger and chronically constipated I used the senna tablets. But i don't need them now. |
