Colon Cleansing. Hello, I have a very fast metabolism so I am worried about colon cleansing because I do not want to lose weight. However, I am very interested in cleansing the toxins out of my body and possibly relieving my often occurring headaches. Do you think drinking 12 ounces of Magnesium Citrate is a good idea?

i am 9 weeks pregnant, was seen in the er last week because I hadn t had a bowel movement for a week. I ve been drinking miralax taking docusate, lactulose drinking magnesium citrate......and another week later my stomach is severly distended, it hurts to breathe, still not going to the bathroom and SUPER uncomfortable. what should I do now?

Hello, for the last week, I have experienced sharp drops in my blood sugar, I have pretty severe hypoglycemia, but somewhat controlled with diet, however lately it seems like I am dropping much more often than before. I am experiencing constipation, but suffer more from diarrhea most of the time. My magnesium, potassium and calcium are all low, as well as some of the B vitamins and vitamin D that I know of. I have muscle weakness, fatigue, a hiatal hernia and acid reflux. But, it seems that there should be some underlying cause that I am missing to cause a vast array of symptoms and sensations. Can constipation cause weird sensations throughout the body like a heavy and full feeling in the head, pressure on the sides of my head, burning legs from the knees down, burning and tingling down the right side of my face that comes and goes and almost like electrical zips or zaps in the mid-center of my body along with a feeling of being hollow or empty even after eating? It is getting to the point that it is debilitating, and yet my doctor wants to blow it off as in my head. I live in a very rural area and he is the only one for almost fifty miles that takes my insurance.

This is a follow-up to our chat of a few days ago re magnesium to alleviate intense muscle spasms in my thigh. It seems to be helping along with the 2mg Tizanidine . I have spoken with my internist and he agrees that I should see an orthopedist to...
