I recently started using Milk of Magnesia Susp 100x30ml for occasional constipation. It works as advertised—helping me have a bowel movement. However, I'm a bit worried about the possible side effects. Have any of you experienced anything serious? I've heard it might cause serious allergic reactions, and that's scary! The side effects listed are scary. Not all of them seem like minor inconveniences. I'm curious to hear from other users. How do you handle side effects? For the record I've been taking this regularly for a few weeks and so far, I've just had a bit of diarrhea, but it's not terrible.

I've had really bad constipation and tried Milk of Magnesia first time last week. The first few days it didn't work and then the third day I felt bloated and had very bad diarrhea. The bloating and diarrhea took 5 days to recover from. The diarrhea was very soft and watery. It's a long story but I'm not sure if I will try it again.

I've had some mild diarrhea, but nothing I couldn't handle. It's a small price to pay for relief from constipation. Just make sure you stay hydrated.

This is just a question but how long should you drink it for? I tried to drink it the whole week but I don't know how to know when I should stop. Also, is it ok if you drink it when you are on your period?

I think we can all agree that constipation is the worst, but please be careful with this stuff. If you experience any serious side effects, get to a doctor ASAP.

Honestly, I think the risk of side effects is worth it if it means I can finally go to the bathroom without any problems. I've tried other stuff, but nothing works as well as Milk of Magnesia.
