Magnesium for Constipation

Magnesium for constipation. Many people around the world are afflicted with constipation on a regular basis.

There are plenty of TV commercials and websites that recommend increasing the daily intake of fiber in an effort to fight constipation. However, for those still suffering from constipation, this solution may not have worked.

Another solution that many people have found in dealing with their constipation is to add different types of fresh fruits and vegetables to their daily intake, as well as to decrease the amount of junk food that is consumed on a regular basis.

Many of us tend to try remedies that are natural before turning to medications, but for those that simply cannot find a cure for chronic constipation, there is another alternative that is both natural and completely effective for constipation in magnesium.

What is constipation?

 In order to understand the solution to constipation, it is important that we first understand what causes constipation.

In most cases, constipation is caused when we do not have enough water in our stool. There are a few different ways to get more water into the stool to solve this problem.

Our goal is to make it easier and less painful to pass stool. Fiber is like a sponge to hold water in the stool, but adding fiber to one’s diet to help relieve constipation may have a few unexpected drawbacks.

• If the beneficial bacteria that a person should have in their digestive system are not present, adding fiber to the diet may bulk up stools and simply make them harder to pass.
  
  
• If a person is dehydrated, the same thing happens. Stools are bulkier but dry, resulting in even worse constipation.

 

The solution!

When magnesium is taken for constipation and at the same time a person cuts back on foods that cause constipation and increases the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables that they eat each day, their constipation may be completely wiped out.

Think of it. No more suffering during through long days without a bowel movement.

Both Phillips Milk of Magnesia and Epson Salt are effective remedies for constipation because both use magnesium as the active ingredient. However, because of their high magnesium content, these supplements are not recommended for daily use.
