Magnesium Citrate is by far the best laxative there is. Take it for the benefit of Magnesium but the side effect is smooth pooping.

Yep. Had to take a friend of mine to the hospital after her cancer surgery because of a massive case of constipation.

It was not fun for anyone involved.

People get upset because of the research into pain drugs, "Don't we have enough?" Not without major downsides. And that is with responsible medically supervised use.

C jabs are.

Many meds cause constipation regardless of age. Low fiber is another reason. I’m not an expert, but am a Gastro Patient. With a long list of drug reactions. Estrogens and OA drugs will cause constipation. Besides ruin your Gastro Tract from Reflux.

Fermented foods are great. I make huge batches and I eat them daily. Probably too much salt but gotta take the good with the bad.

Gallbladder surgery will take you in either direction, Hub had his removed, now on daily Miralax. Thankfully the Navy Base supplies it as a script. Stuff is expensive.

Due to blockage in the supply lines, no doubt!

White Castle hamburgers.

They’re called sliders for a reason.

This would explain the toilet paper shortage.

The more processed foods sold and bought, the more the need for laxatives. Havoc to the GI tract.

“And modern marijuana is near narcotic status.”

National Marijuana law should allow use by pilots, crewmen, of the Air Force and the US Navy.

My wife had a rather unpleasant time after surgery some years ago. A Taco Bell burrito supreme with green sauce was what finally worked.

LOL! I actually like Taco Bell, but I’ve never experienced the vaunted ‘side effects’.
