need advice

[Guest guest]

Many of the meds I take cause constipation. Also the high dose of

calcium causes it, too so I take supplemental magnesium to balance

that. Right now take 3000mg calcium each day and only 1200 magnesium.

Also am trying to each a more high fiber diet so use Miralax every 10

days or so. I am always thirsty from being on a diuretic so do drink

plenty of clear fluids. Despite this, my GI slows way down and I have

to strain to have a BM. It is very painful to do that though since I

have internal hemorroids.

Is there anything else I can do or take to keep my system running

properly? I appreciate any feedback.

thanks,
