I take medication which causes this problem for me. I also take Magnesium and sometimes a stool softener...I stay away from laxatives. I usually go approx every 4 days. Ridiculous, and makes me feel SO bloated.
Coffee in the morning usually does the trick better than anything else.
Solid calcium supplements (even if they contain magnesium) can cause the WORST constipation. It's because of the binders they use in the pills. If you're taking a solid calcium supplement- even Tums- drop it and go to a liquid. No binders, so it won't bind you up!
