Janet, I take a Magnesium Citrate each night. Still constipation is a slight problem. I’ve seen Natural Calm at our Health store. Do you think it’s ok to take a dose in the morning. I take Benefiber and drink Smooth Move tea. Doesn’t seem to help. I also take Psyllium Husk capsules when not taking the others. Trying to find what will work for me. MoM works but don’t like to take on regular basis, since it’s a laxative. Is it bad to take daily? I drink lots of water. Salt not so much. Would that help to up my salt intake? I’ve never been very regular anyway. Any help would be appreciated.
