I take a magnesium supplement 3 days a week (MWF). More than that is too much although every now and then I might take one on the weekend if necessary. I have issues when I vacation and even when I visit my parents but I know things will happen by the end of my trip! Never had a problem until I had my DC.
I have friends who say that coffee makes them go and it works for DD too but I don’t drink coffee unless it has whipped cream on it. DS tried natural calm and he thought it was gross but I personally have never tried it since pills are easier! DD had major issues as a young child and had to take miralax for a couple of years every day.
I saw my nephew over the holidays and he was popping 12 citrucel pills at once. He also uses miralax. He has major problems. I asked him if he saw a GI doctor cuz that didn’t seem like a good thing.

People show themselves not by what they say but by what they do
Our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves. -- Wilhelm von Humboldt
